Misato NotoPhone cases are essential accessories not just for expressing your individuality but also to keep your gadget protected from unwanted scratches or cracks. However, a little-known fact is that 1.5 billion non-biodegradable plastic phone cases are thrown away each year.
Pela, based in Canada, is the world’s first 100% compostable phone case company. Their phone cases are made with an innovative plant-based material called Flaxstic®. This material features bioplastic elastomer and a by-product of the flax oilseed harvest, usually burned down at the end of each season. Additionally, the Pela Case also helps to reduce landfill waste. When you’re done with it, you just have to throw it into the compost. Or, you can send your old Pela Case back to the company so that they can reuse the material. Due to Pela’s focus on low-impact manufacturing and environmentally sensible materials, purchasing their case can reduce carbon emissions by 25%, water consumption by 35% and waste production by 67%, compared to its conventional plastic-based counterparts.
