Ditch the plastic and embrace a greener game with Compost-a-Ball™, a revolutionary new 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 the discarded plastic balls create a growing problem 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. Research shows 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.

“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.”
