More than 1 Billion glass and plastic screen protectors are bought (and thrown away) every year.
- Nearly every single screen protector comes wrapped in plastic packaging.
- To make one small piece of glass, manufacturers waste up to 2x the material making it.
- Each screen protector made ONLY fits one phone size, meaning the entire industry is over producing because they don't know what phones will be the best sellers.

Cette image vous montre ce que représentent seulement 60 000 coques de téléphone et protections d'écran en plastique. Cela remplit une seule poubelle commerciale. Et ce, provenant d'UN SEUL magasin de détail lors du renouvellement annuel de ses stocks pour la sortie des nouveaux téléphones !
On le sait, les coques de téléphone et les protections d'écran ne représentent pas le plus gros problème de plastique sur la planète.
Néanmoins, il n'est vraiment pas nécessaire d'utiliser du plastique pour fabriquer des coques de téléphone et des protections d'écran. C'est un matériau qui dure des centaines d'années et qui n'est utilisé que pendant un à trois ans avant que l'on n'achète un nouveau téléphone, et le cycle recommence.
You already know that Pela Case is the world's first compostable phone case.
We even have the data and testing to back this up. The image on your left shows 5 Pela Cases almost fully composted after JUST 3 weeks in a commercial composter.
That brown stuff in the other hand? Regular cardboard. It doesn't even decompose as fast as our phone cases do!
But did you also know Pela makes the world's first ZERO WASTE screen protector?
It comes in a glass vial that’s corked instead of excessive plastic packaging. (You can re-use the vial for all sorts of things). The liquid hardens on any phone screen and increases its strength by 10x!!
It protects your device against scratches, shattering and impacts. No more awkward sizing and fitting issues while putting your screen protector on your phone.
Just one vial of Canopy will give you enough liquid to protect 3 phones. It even protects the glass on the back of your phone.
Canopy is just one more way that Pela is using innovative new materials to lead the world to a waste free future.
