Pela is a well-known brand that offers certified compostable phone cases. Their products are made from a material called Flaxstic®, a bioplastic derived from leftover flax straw. This innovative approach not only reduces waste but also minimizes harmful chemical usage, as their cases are free from BPA, phthalates, and heavy metals.
Pela’s phone cases, available for a range of models including iPhones and Samsung phones, are priced between $60 and $70. They also offer a 360 program allowing customers to return their used cases to be properly recycled or composted. The company is climate neutral certified and gives 1% of their sales to ocean clean-up initiatives, underscoring their commitment to sustainability.
