Over 1.5 billion phones were sold in 2019 alone. About three quarters of consumers will buy a phone case to protect their purchase, contributing to the overwhelming amount of plastic being produced and discarded.
The Nature Conservancy has partnered with Case-Mate for the launch of their Eco94 Case for Nature line of phone cases that keep the future of our planet in mind. Case-Mate’s goal is to reduce plastic pollution by using renewable plant-based materials and reclaimed plastics to create cases for your devices. To help keep the planet green, Case-Mate is supporting the planting of more than 30,000 trees around the world through TNC’s Plant a Billion Trees program.
All Eco94 Case for Nature phone cases are recyclable and have benefits over traditional phone cases; they come in three models:
- Recycled: Made of up to 80% post-consumer recycled plastics.
- Eco-Clear: Constructed from sustainable (plant-based) bioplastics, the Eco-Clear case has a smaller carbon footprint than standard petroleum-based plastics.
- Biodegradable: 100% biodegradable cases which are made of sustainable (plant-based) bioplastics, these cases do not contribute to plastics pollution because they naturally degrades over time.
Case-Mate has also removed all plastic from the Eco94 product packaging, opting for more environmentally conscious materials such as 100% recycled paper and a natural cotton pull tab.
