The Nurdle Problem

Ever heard of a nurdle?

They might sound cute, but these tiny plastic pellets are a big problem. Nurdles are the raw material used to make most plastic products—and they’re flooding our oceans.

Every year, billions of nurdles spill into waterways during manufacturing and shipping. Because they’re so small and lightweight, they easily slip through cracks in regulation and end up polluting coastlines, harming marine life, and even entering our food chain. Animals often mistake them for food, leading to starvation or toxic exposure.

They’re one of the biggest sources of microplastic pollution, and the worst part? They don’t biodegrade. Once a nurdle is in the wild, it’s basically there forever.

How SAK is Making a Difference

At SAK, we’re flipping the script.

Instead of letting nurdles pollute the planet, we’re putting them to work. Every SAK is filled with repurposed nurdles, keeping them out of oceans and giving them a second life—one kick at a time.

And it doesn’t stop there. We’re committed to sustainability across the board:

Recycled and reclaimed materials in every SAK.

Each SAK is more than just a hacky sack—it’s a protest in motion. A stand against throwaway culture. A reminder that every kick, flick, and stall can be a force for good.

Why It Matters

We’re not here to sell plastic.

We’re here to clean it up, kick it around, and spark a shift in how we view waste.

The ocean doesn’t need more plastic. But it does need more people who care.

Welcome to the light side of the SAK.
