Phone Cases

With over a billion phone cases thrown away globally each year, these common accessories represent a massive source of plastic waste that eventually breaks down into microplastics in landfills. Because phone cases are typically manufactured from polyurethane, silicone, and other mixed synthetic materials, they are not accepted in standard residential curbside recycling programs. To dispose of them responsibly, you can search for specialty mail-in recycling and trade-in programs hosted by major retailers, or pass your old case along to someone else when upgrading your phone. When shopping for a new device, choosing cases made from recycled or compostable materials is a highly effective way to reduce plastic demand.
