You might be on your own digging for quarters or waiting for a machine, but when it comes to catching microfibers to protect your clothes and our waterways, the cheerfully colored Cora Ball has your back.
Sustainable goodness
The Cora Ball is made from 100% recycled plastic and was made to catch microfibers flowing from our laundry into our oceans.
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.

supporting key causes
Cora Ball donates a portion of each purchase to Rozalia Project for a Clean Ocean, a non-profit tackling marine debris to address the emerging problem of microfiber pollution.
How to use it
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.
When you're done...
Contact Cora Ball directly to return and recycle your product.
These are general guidelines for broadly-recyclable materials. Check with your local recycler to confirm what they take.

About the Brand
Cora Ball
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.
