Pickleball Goes Green with
Compost-a-Ball™
Introducing The World’s First Compostable Pickleball Ball, Presented by
Professional Pickleball Partners
- This compostable pickleball provides a solution to the recycling problem within the sport of pickleball. Traditional plastic balls are hard to recycle and often end up in the regular trash, generating plastic waste in a land fill.
- The ball performs like a standard recreational pickleball and is designed to begin the composting process within approximately 100 days of production.
- Compost-A-Ball's injection molding utilizes rice husk and wheat straw (patent pending)
Ditch the plastic and embrace a greener game with Compost-A-Ball™, a revolutionary patented invention from Professional Pickleball Partners (Pro-Pickle). The world's first compostable pickleball ball is designed to keep the rallies going and the planet thriving.
“Pickleball's popularity is soaring, but its discarded plastic balls are piling up in landfills,” said Angel Morales, Chief Product Officer of Pro-Pickle. “This offers an eco-friendly solution for players that care about the game and the planet.”
The rise of pickleball comes with a hidden cost. An estimated 500 million pickleballs are produced each year, translating to a staggering 77 million pounds of plastic headed toward landfills. Made with a unique, patented blend of wheat straw and rice husk, Compost-a-Ball™ breaks down in around 100 days in landfills, leaving less waste behind while improving soil health.
"We're passionate players who saw a chance to make a difference," said Dylan Stripling, Managing Director of Pro-Pickle. "Compost-a-Ball™ is an environmental game-saver. We believe that every switch to a compostable ball will make a difference over time."
This groundbreaking ball reduces carbon footprint while maintaining industry standards for recreational play. Compost-a-Ball™ delivers a consistent bounce and long-lasting durability for a seamless experience. As with traditional pickleballs, when the Compost-a-Ball™ loses its bounce or shows signs of cracking, simply toss it in the trash or compost bin and let nature take over.
Pro-Pickle will demonstrate Compost-a-Ball™ at a sustainability panel during PickleCon 2024, the pickleball industry’s first convention hosted in Kansas City. To view the ball in action, mark your calendars for Friday, August 9 at 3 p.m. Learn more at picklecon.com.
“Player interest in Compost-a-Ball has been phenomenal,” said Robert Cutler, CEO of Pro-Pickle. “That’s why we’ve invested over $1 million in production to ensure we can meet the demand and help reduce the environmental impact of our favorite sport.”
