A recent feature from Nature has been making waves, drawing attention to a massive environmental crisis—microplastic pollution. At Biodegradable Golf Balls, we’ve always been mindful of the impact traditional golf balls have on the environment. Regular golf balls lost in water or nature break down over time, shedding tiny plastic particles that pollute ecosystems. Our biodegradable golf balls, however, contain zero plastics, making them a sustainable choice for conscious golfers.
What Are Microplastics?
Microplastics are tiny plastic particles, 5 millimetres or smaller, that infiltrate ecosystems and even our own bodies. Some come from larger plastics breaking down over time, while others, like microbeads, are manufactured that way. These microscopic pollutants have been found everywhere—from the deepest parts of the ocean to Arctic snow.
How Golf Balls Contribute to Microplastic Pollution
Lost golf balls don’t magically disappear. They break down slowly, leaching microplastics and harmful chemicals into the environment. Researchers estimate that between 15 trillion and 51 trillion microplastic particles are floating in our oceans today. Worse yet, studies suggest humans may ingest up to 100,000 of these particles daily.
Golf balls are not fish food!
Why Biodegradable Golf Balls Are Part of the Solution
The good news? We can take action now. Unlike traditional golf balls, which take centuries to degrade and release microplastics into the ecosystem, our biodegradable golf balls break down completely in a matter of days. They leave behind no harmful residue, ensuring that golf can be enjoyed without damaging the planet.
By choosing Biodegradable Golf Balls, you’re making an eco-friendly choice that helps protect oceans, wildlife, and future generations. Let’s keep microplastics out of nature—one swing at a time.
