Frequently Asked Questions
What are biodegradable phone cases made of?
Our biodegradable phone cases are made from plant-based, compostable materials made of PLA, PBAT and Bamboo Fibre. These eco-friendly phone cases are fully sustainable, non-plastic, and designed to break down safely without harming the environment.
How long does it take for a biodegradable phone case to decompose?
Biodegradable phone cases typically decompose within 6–12 months under industrial composting conditions. When composted properly, these compostable iPhone and Android phone cases leave no toxic residue, making them an environmentally friendly alternative to traditional plastic cases.
Will the case start breaking down while I’m using it?
No. Our eco-friendly phone cases are designed to remain strong and durable during everyday use. The compostable materials only start breaking down under the right composting conditions, not while protecting your phone.
Do these cases fit snugly on my phone?
Yes. Each biodegradable phone case is precision-molded for a perfect fit on your iPhone or Android device. You get eco-friendly protection without compromising on style, functionality, or ease of access to buttons and ports.
Are biodegradable phone cases as durable as plastic ones?
Absolutely. These sustainable phone cases are shock-resistant, flexible, and built to last. While they are eco-friendly and compostable, they provide the same level of protection as traditional plastic phone covers.
What makes these cases different from other “eco” phone cases?
Unlike some greenwashed alternatives, our biodegradable phone cases are truly compostable and plastic-free. They are made from certified plant-based materials and come in sustainable packaging, making them one of the most environmentally responsible phone cases available.
Is the packaging also eco-friendly?
Yes. All of our biodegradable phone cases come in plastic-free, recyclable, or compostable packaging. This ensures that every part of your purchase, from case to box supports a sustainable lifestyle.
Can I recycle a biodegradable phone case instead of composting it?
Biodegradable phone cases are best composted, as recycling facilities are generally not equipped to process plant-based plastics. Composting helps the material safely return to the earth, while recycling may not break it down properly.
What makes these iPhone cases biodegradable?
The cases are made from plant-based PLA and PBAT. These materials break down into organic matter under composting conditions. They do not leave microplastics. They reduce long term waste.
How long does the case last?
It lasts through daily use. It protects against drops and scratches. It stays firm and flexible. It breaks down only when placed in a composting environment. Normal phone use does not trigger breakdown.
How do I dispose of the case?
Place the case in your home compost if you use one. You can also send it to an industrial compost site. Do not add it to standard recycling bins. UK recycling centres do not process PLA or PBAT with petroleum plastics.

Biodegradable iPhone cases provide a simple way to cut plastic waste. Your old case often stays in landfills for centuries. Plant-based materials break down into organic matter. This reduces long-term impact and supports cleaner waste streams across the UK.
Biodegradable cases use PLA and PBAT. These are plant-based polymers. They keep your phone safe. They hold their shape under daily use. They break down under the right composting conditions. You get strong protection without long-term waste.
Many phone cases use petroleum plastics. These plastics release microplastics during use and disposal. Biodegradable materials break down without leaving fragments. This keeps soil and water cleaner. It supports UK recycling and composting goals.
A biodegradable case also reduces dependence on oil. PLA comes from crops like corn. PBAT helps maintain the case’s strength and flexibility. This mix keeps your phone secure while lowering long-term impact.
