Most smartphone cases and covers are made largely or entirely of plastics. When people say “plastic” they’re typically referring to synthetic petroleum-based polymers. These polymers are ubiquitous today owing to their low cost of manufacturing and easy moldability, but they do not break down like organic materials and have become a persistent problem for the environment with buildup in landfills and oceans. For its phone cases, Pela instead utilizes a unique material that it calls bioplastic.

This bioplastic is not merely biodegradable, a rather vague term that doesn’t necessarily mean something is entirely environmentally safe. Pela phone cases are actually 100% compostable. Formed from a proprietary blend of plant-based materials, the flexible and durable Pela cases both protect your phone and the environment by completely breaking down into carbon, water, and organic biomass (no synthetic or toxic byproducts left behind) at the same rate as cellulose “meaning you can go ahead and toss your Pela case onto the compost pile when it’s time for a new one.
