Badminton is one of the leading sports in the world. It has its own set of rules on the equipments used and general game play. One of the main equipment used is the badminton racket. Each sections of a badminton racket have its own design requirements and one of it is the racket’s material selection. Therefore, material selection is very important to improve the usage of a badminton racket. This study describes the use of the Elimination and Choice Expressing Reality (ELECTRE) method in the material selection of a badminton racket frame with reference to the sustainable manufacturing practice of the frame. By categorizing the materials of the badminton racket frame according to mechanical, physical, chemical and environmental properties, and further detailed sub criteria were set according to the usage of these frames, the ELECTRE I method was used to determine the dominant material. Out of the six materials usually used in the manufacturing of a badminton racket frame, carbon fibre was the dominant material selected from three out of the four properties which are the mechanical, chemical and most importantly the environmental properties, as to comply with the sustainable manufacturing practice of these frames.
