How it does good
Inspired by ocean life to protect ocean life
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.
By creating a product that keeps harmful plastic and chemical-coated fibers from entering waterways, the Cora Ball helps all users decrease their environmental impact. It also protects our clothing, limiting both waste and the impact of waste disposal. On top of all this, their team is encouraging further eco-friendly practices, like washing smaller loads and using cold water.

About the Brand
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.
How to use
Throw your Cora Ball in the washer with your normal load of laundry (excluding delicates, knits, fine fabrics, and anything with tassels, fraying threads or spaghetti straps). Check every couple of washes for fuzz, lint, or hair large enough to pull out by hand, then throw this out with your dryer lint.

United StatesVery easy way to be better
Hey Hive! Katie from the merch team here. I started using the Cora Ball when I wash my sheets and towels. It's a verrrrrry easy way to prevent plastic from getting into our waterways. I just throw it in the washer (this is the hardest part - have to remember!), make sure it doesn't get into the dryer, and pull out all the fun stuff I find in the ball. Voila!

Keep up the good work. I have given one to each member of the family with a washing machine.
United StatesCatches All!
Jen from the Hive Team here, I love using the Cora Ball! With 4 cats and 3 dogs, the coral ball catches not only the microfibers from our clothes and towels but also plenty of pet hair and fuzzy threads.
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!
