The fun doesn’t stop there – it’s also BPA free, so no toxins! BPA stands for bisphenol, which is an industrial chemical used to make certain plastics. It’s often found in food containers and water bottles. Although there is no concrete evidence, consuming BPA is thought to have negative health consequences because it can mimic the hormone structure and disrupt the process.

What size are they? - The bigger the tumble dryer ball, the more space it can create between items of clothing, aiding airflow and reducing drying times. Larger balls tend to last longer too, without becoming misshapen or flat after extended use. Dropps was one of the OG zero waste laundry detergent brands. Their biodegradable pods harness the power of plants, not petrochemicals.Conscious of reducing their footprint, Blueland is Climate Neutral Certified, Cradle2Cradle Certified, prioritizes efficient energy and water usage, and ensures worker safety and happiness. Ecoegg’s mantra is “ helping to save the planet, one egg at a time” by reducing single-use plastic waste. Although made from plastic, the Dryer Eggs are made using eco-friendly, fully recyclable plastic (polypropylene). Another top tip is to avoid over-drying your clothes. Completely dry clothing spinning around in your tumble dryer encourages the formation of static. Therefore, try taking your clothes out of the dryer 5 minutes before you normally would, to see if that helps.

If you’re after a truly sustainable choice, the Gleener Puffer Dryer Dots are made from 100% Ethically Sourced New Zealand Wool, making them a great biodegradable alternative to using disposable tumble dryer sheets. Without the eggs, the manufacturer says that clothes can clump together and not make the most of the available space. More space means more warm air is circulating between the clothing items. The balls come in a handy drawstring bag, so when not in use you can put them away neatly and know that they won’t be dirty if you throw before you next use them.Fabrics - Do you have a preference for material? Plastic tumble dryer balls tend to be cheaper, but noisier and less durable than their wool counterparts. Wool is obviously a more sustainable and eco-friendly choice, making a soft and gentle alternative to fabric conditioners and dryer sheets. These laundry wool dryer balls are lovingly handmade for a fair wage by women and disabled artisans in Nepal, with safe and equitable working conditions, as are the accompanying unbleached cotton storage bags.

Evidence also suggested these EDCs could affect a person’s metabolism, developing reproductive and nervous systems, and even cancer. They also reduce drying time by between 10% and 25%, which i sn’t much different to ecoegg’s 28% but still – every little does help! Yes, wool dryer balls help to reduce static and reduce drying times. They have the added benefits of being environmentally friendly and free from harmful chemicals. Firstly, the bumps and nodules on the outside of the egg are designed to breakdown the stiffness caused by washing and help to naturally soften your clothes. No chemicals needed for this.They partner with the Ecosystem Services for Poverty Alleviation (ESPA) in Kathmandu, Nepal to empower and aid women with disabilities through training and employment opportunities. Their products are also available by subscription, and for each new subscription, Tru Earth donates 32-load eco-strips to front-line workers, food banks, and shelters.
