The Only Pickleball Built for Modular Courts

77 Million Pounds of Plastic Per Year Comes From Pickleball... Yikes!

Since most plastic is not recyclable, it ends up in landfills and oceans where it will take 500 years to break down into microplastics that never go away. To help solve this problem, Compost-A-Ball fully decomposes, so you can feel good about running through as many balls as you need.

Frequently Asked Questions

The Basics

What’s the Compost-A-Ball™?

It’s the world’s first fully compostable pickleball! Made from a unique blend of wheat straw and rice husk, this ball plays like plastic but breaks down naturally in just 100 days—unlike regular pickleballs that stick around for centuries.

How does it compare to a regular plastic pickleball?

Pretty darn close! It’s designed to match the feel and bounce of a traditional ball, but with a slightly softer touch and a longer dwell time (meaning it stays on your paddle just a bit longer). If you like control and finesse, you’ll love it!

Can I use the Compost-A-Ball™ in tournaments?

Not yet! Right now, it’s meant for casual and recreational play. But who knows? Maybe one day, eco-friendly pickleball will be the new norm.

Performance & Durability

Does it feel different when playing?

A little bit! It has a softer feel, which gives you more control and helps with spin. Some players actually prefer it over traditional plastic balls, especially for longer rallies.

How long does the Compost-A-Ball™ last?

It’s durable enough for plenty of games, but since it’s made from natural materials, it may wear down a little faster than plastic. The good news? When it’s done, it won’t sit in a landfill for 500+ years.

Can I use it indoors and outdoors?

Yep! Whether you're playing in a gym or outside on a sunny day, the Compost-A-Ball™ holds up just fine. Just try not to leave it in extreme heat or rain for too long—it’s made to break down eventually, after all.

Eco-Friendly Goodness

How long does it take to break down?

Just 100 days! Compare that to regular pickleballs, which take over 500 years to decompose into microplastics that never really go away. Yikes.

Can I just toss it in my compost bin at home?

Absolutely! It’s backyard-compost friendly, so when it’s worn out, just throw it in with your food scraps and let nature do its thing.

What if it ends up in a landfill or the ocean?

Even if it’s not composted properly, it’ll still break down over time—unlike plastic balls, which stick around forever.

Buying & Playing

Where can I buy the Compost-A-Ball™?

You can grab it online from Pro-Pickle and select retailers. Check our website for the latest!

How do I make it last as long as possible?

Store it in a cool, dry place—just like you would with regular pickleballs. If you leave it out in the rain for weeks, well… it’s going to do what it was designed to do: break down.

Is it really that much better for the environment?

Yep! No plastic, no microplastics, no guilt. Just a high-performance ball that lets you enjoy the game without contributing to the 77 million pounds of plastic waste pickleball creates every year.
