Most phone cases are made from plastic.
In fact, over one billion plastic phone cases are sold every year.
Even more cases are continually being made to keep up with the latest phone models and trends.
The problem is when a case breaks, a trend ends or we upgrade our phones, they're thrown away.
Billions of plastic items are thrown out every year, resulting in plastic that ends up being dumped in landfills, incinerated or left to pollute fragile ecosystems.
The mounting plastic pollution is taking a serious toll on the environment and plastic phone cases are only adding to the problem.
