COMPOSTABLE PICKLEBALL – A GREEN BREAKTHROUGH FOR THE WORLD’S FASTEST-GROWING SPORT

Posted on 13/02/202513/03/2025 by AnEco

Pickleball, a sport booming worldwide, brings joy and connection to millions of players. However, behind its rapid growth lies an alarming issue: plastic waste from discarded pickleball balls. Each year, an estimated 500 million pickleball balls are produced, contributing tens of thousands of tons of plastic waste to landfills, putting immense pressure on the environment.

 To address this challenge, a sustainable solution has emerged: fully compostable pickleball balls. Made from natural materials such as wheat straw and rice husk, these balls decompose in approximately 100 days after disposal, leaving no harmful microplastics behind. More importantly, they maintain the same bounce, durability, and playing experience as traditional pickleball balls, offering an eco-friendly choice for sports enthusiasts.

 Fully compostable materials not only help reduce plastic pollution but also represent the inevitable trend of the future. Replacing conventional plastics with biodegradable materials is becoming increasingly common across various industries.

At An Phat Bioplastic, we are committed to continuous research and innovation to develop products that help minimize plastic waste. With over 20 years of experience in the bioplastics industry, we provide eco-friendly solutions such as compostable bags, straws, and cutlery, contributing to the global movement towards sustainable consumption.
