Pela makes smartphones cases like many other companies, but they have a feature that stands out from the crowd. Pela cases are 100% compostable and the company just introduced a line of iPhone 12 cases.
Compostable iPhone Cases
As the company notes, there is a difference between biodegradable and compostable, but Pela cases are 100% compostable. They’re free of lead, cadmium, BPA, and phthalates, and are made with a proprietary blend of bio polymers and Canadian Prairie flax shive.
