Pela Eco-Friendly Phone Case iPhone 12 Pro Max - Summit (Green)

the brand story:

Hatched from a want to create a waste free future, Pela believe that technology exists to make everyday products without everyday waste. Pela was inspired by the Spanish word that can mean peel or to peel. Their thought process was, what if you could guard your "Apple" with a natural "peel" and hence Pela was born! Pela's co-founder, Jeremy Lang, created the proprietary blend of starch-based elastomer with flax shive that has now created thousands of phone cases all over the world. Flax shive is an annually renewable byproduct of the flax oil seed harvest in Canada and is typically burned down at the end of each season. Using this “waste” byproduct gives these cases added strength and natural shock absorption and provides local farmers with another source of revenue. Pela cases are designed to protect your tech and formulated to reduce waste on our planet.
