How it does good
While pollution enters our waterways from a bunch of sources, the biggest is microfibers. A huge chunk of these come not from straws or bags but from our clothes. Since washer filters aren't built to catch microfibers, they drain out with our water after every wash. And if you're not sure how something you can't even see can add up to such a big effect, consider this: NYC produces 6.8 billion microfibers every single day, and they're all ending up in the water. Like the ocean coral it was inspired by, the Cora Ball was built to collect microfiber contaminants and filter them out of our washers, so we can keep them out of the ocean. What's more, the durable, stretchy ball actually prevents shedding, so our clothes and our planet can last longer.
Cora Ball
The founders of Cora Ball noticed a problem. Every time people do laundry, their clothes shed tiny, unseen microfibers (including plastic), which go down the drains of washing machines and into waterways. And most of us don’t even know it. Which means there’s plastic hiding in our waterways and ocean. That’s not great for the animals living in those waters, or for us. And so, they created a new kind of laundry ball that would prevent microfibers from breaking off and going down the drain.

United StatesWorks as advertised, good design
We've been using one of these for several years now. You can easily see the bits of fluff, hair, etc. gathering on the ball as time passes. Ours finally broke--the pin at the top of the spindle is popping out, so we're back for another. The design is quite pleasing; it comes apart easily for cleaning, and the bits are clearly numbered (so they go back on the spindle in the right order) and lock together nicely.
United StatesOne small step for the earth.
I see less fur pills from my cats which is a plus. I use the Cora Ball in every load. Another step for the environment!
United StatesUse carefully
I love the idea but don't know for sure if it works. I do know that, if there is a loose thread on anything in the batch of laundry, it will catch it and continue the pull. Now I have to resew the bottom band on my beautiful, but old, Marika sports bra. Otherwise, I am a suckered for anything made in Vermont!
United Stateshard to say
i'm not sure if this is doing anything or not. i've done a number of loads of laundry and am not seeing any "plastic" that I can pull out of the ball like the description and reviews have stated. do I not have plastic in my laundry?
United States$40 Scam
This thing does absolutely nothing. I've had this for about a month now and run about 2-3 loads a week. Not once have I pulled anything out. It catches nothing. I may as well have donated that $40 to a worthy cause rather than a fake eco-product.
