These pickleballs don't clog up landfills with microplastic. And they perform, team says
Briefly

"I saw people throwing cracked pickleballs into trash cans. Some guys were just throwing balls over the fence and not even putting them into trash cans. I thought: 'This could harm this great sport because we're not being good neighbors.'"
"The average pickleball takes more than 100 years to decompose. We can't keep adding to what is already a crisis regarding plastics in the environment."
"BioBall breaks down within three to five years, and it leaves no harmful micro-plastics or toxic residues behind. This is a responsible technological advancement."
"The goal is to reduce the sport's carbon footprint by replacing the traditional plastic pickleball. The BioBall is five times more durable than traditional pickleballs."
