Did you know that every time you do your laundry, your synthetic clothes release hundreds of thousands of microfibers (tiny plastic and chemical coated fibers) that eventually end up in our waterways? It's even estimated that NYC alone has 6.8 BILLION microfibers flowing into its harbor each day. Cora Ball knew this problem had to be addressed at the source (us!) –- which inspired their easy-to-use laundry ball that catches the microfibers that naturally shed from clothes in the wash. Made from 100% recycled plastic, and recyclable after you enjoy it for years, the Cora Ball works by trapping and securing threads in its "spindles" that can be easily cleaned as microfibers collect. Make an impact on ocean pollution with Cora Ball!

Recycled Content
Recycling is the process of taking an otherwise-discarded item or material and cleaning, sorting, and breaking it down into its basic form (such as fibers or pellets). This material is then used to produce new items. Recycling keeps useful materials from being discarded in landfills, prevents resource extraction due to the creation of new materials, and provides a new life for used items. Recycling can utilize both pre-consumer waste (materials left over from production) or post-consumer materials (used clothing, empty water bottles, etc).

Recycled Plastic
Recycling is the process of taking an otherwise-discarded item or material and cleaning, sorting, and breaking it down into its basic form (such as fibers or pellets). This material is then used to produce new items. Recycling keeps useful materials from being discarded in landfills, prevents resource extraction due to the creation of new materials, and provides a new life for used items. Recycling can utilize both pre-consumer waste (materials left over from production) or post-consumer materials (used clothing, empty water bottles, etc). Recycled plastic utilizes salvaged post-industrial plastic scraps and post-consumer products such as water bottles and other plastic containers, and transforms them into new products. The containers are sorted, crushed, and then heated to form resins, which are liquid plastics that can harden into new shapes. These resins can be molded and used to create anything from carpet to outdoor furniture. Recycling plastic lowers the amount of petroleum extracted and the production of greenhouse gasses associated with first-time plastic production. Plus, by using these existing materials, we're benefiting from the original energy and resources spent to create them in the first place, while diverting waste from the landfill.

Cora Ball

Microplastics or microfibers are the teeny tiny particles that are polluting our waterways at a concerning rate. Surprisingly enough, these particles most often originate from your washing machine. Clothing that contains synthetic fibers such as nylon, polyester, rayon, acrylic, or spandex, are essentially plastic and shed particles each time we wash them! This microfiber pollution ends up being eaten by ocean animals and then, in turn, ends up on our plates. Cora Ball was founded by underwater archaeologist and marine scientist Rachel Miller and offers a human-scale solution to a global issue. Cora Ball is the first ever microfiber catching laundry ball. Inspired the way coral filters the ocean water from foreign particles, Cora Ball mimics that behaviour and catches all the bad microplastic particles from your clothing before they make it to the water. The ball works in any washing machine. You simply throw it in with your laundry and it will catch microfibers as well as hair to prevent them from flowing out with the drain water. Once the laundry is done, you clean Cora like you clean a hairbrush, taking out the bits of fuzz and putting them in the trash. The best part? The ball itself if made from 100% recycled plastic. So you can maximize your impact one laundry load at a time.

Doesn't seem to be doing anything

I've done 20 loads of laundry; including microfiber clothes and fleece blankets - things that should shed a lot. There is nothing at all stuck to the ball; with the exception of shreds of towel b/c it shreded one of my kitchen towels.

Hi Jillian, thank you for your feedback. The ball catches even the smallest of microfibers and they add up overtime! We will relay this information to Coraball as well.

Pro: Interesting concept, Con: Not practical for use based on its size

I was so pressed to finally buy this and get my hands on one. Now, I hardly use it. The chunky rubber claw hands of this are TOO big to do anything. I feel like the washer just washes away any pesky microfibers and this doesn't capture like it should. Unfortunately because of this I wouldn't recommend it.

Broke after 2 months

I really wanted this to work. Mine broke after 2 month of getting it. And this is not a cheaply priced item, but I guess the way it was made was...since it's not efficient for laundry...its intended use.
Very disappointing since it has now become useless and added to the waste we are trying to prevent. It would also get tangled alot in my clothes if I didn't sort them into a washing bag to protect them from this device. I would not recommend unfortunetly. I hope their creators can come up with a solution soon.

Gets caught

I've used this for a while and it never seems to collect any fibers. It did however get caught on a string on an item of clothing. This got very tangled and I spent a long time detangling it. Wouldn't recommend.
