<b>Does your phone case save the planet?</b> <br> <br>2016 marked the billionth iPhone ever sold; that's a lot of phones and even more tech accessories. The amount of plastic waste generated by outdated accessories is astounding, although <b><b>no</b></b>t surprising. As trends change, popular colors of one season are quickly replaced the next. <br> <br>With a traditional plastic phone cover, that's a problem; they're here for the long run, and will still be on the planet thousands of years after they've been discarded. The <b>Pela Case</b> is different; it is <b>100% biodegradable,</b> so if you trade in your phone (or your favorite color), you can remove all trace of your case within three years in a backyard compost environment. <br> <br><b>We know what you may be thinking:</b> <br> <br><b>Will it biodegrade in my pocket? </b> Short answer—<b>no!</b>, it won't. We've never known any of our cases to biodegrade outside of a compost environment. <br> <br>Sounds good, <b>but will it actually protect my phone?</b> Short answer—<b>yes!</b> The Pela Case works exactly like any plastic phone case you've had in the past, it will protect your phone from knocks, scratches, and the odd drops. <br> <br> Our eco-friendly phone cases allow you to enjoy beautiful, functional products without harming the planet in the process. And we're not just talk; we also raise money for organizations and initiatives, with a special interest in clean water and clean ocean projects that help protect the planet. It means a lot to us!
