1. Pela Case is a biodegradable phone case that is produced with a circular model in mind. Not only is there no plastic in the case but the production process also produces less waste than typical plastic phone cases.
2. This product could be considered circular partially because it is biodegradable, but also because you can return old or broken cases to Pela and they will refurbish or recycle them to make new cases.
3. Pela uses the sustainable product design principle in terms of materials by designing out waste/pollution.
4. Some environmental benefits are that there is no plastic used in the case (thus none thrown away into landfills) and that the manufacturing produces significantly less CO2, water, and waste than typical phone case manufacturing. Economic benefits include durability (less chance your phone will break).
5. Pela uses the waste to wealth model.
