Pela

Pela want to create a waste-free future. Generally speaking, a phone case is replaced every 18-24 months, and there are currently over 4 billion mobile phones in existence. Each case on these 4 billion phones will be relatively obsolete within the next 24 months, but the case itself (made from conventional plastics) will last for over 1000 years. The fate of these cases is to photodegrade in the wastestream, eventually becoming Micro-Plastics. Micro-Plastics end up in the oceans, lakes and rivers, and are eaten by fish, marine mammals and other organisms, and in most cases, harm is done to the sea-life ingesting these plastics. Pela is looking at other products as part of its journey to a waste free world.
