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.
