Protect your world

The scientists. The artists. The activists.
As changemakers, we use creative ingenuity to challenge the ordinary. We invent. We inspire. We protect the world we all share and change the status quo.

A creative lab driven by changemaking spirit

At RHINOSHIELD, we see our lab as a creative engine powered by curiosity, bold ideas, and a changemaking spirit. From reimagining how phone cases can protect not just devices but the planet, to pushing the boundaries of sustainable design, we’re constantly experimenting, learning, and evolving. Because real innovation doesn’t just solve problems—it shapes a better future.

Time to change something bigger— plastic crisis

1 billion phone cases a year, and 99% are hard to recycle. This status quo mirrors our plastic crisis.
From accessory manufacturer to material tech innovator to sustainable solution provider, we explore three routes of plastic management—present, past and future—to reshape our tomorrow.

MODERN PLASTIC™
Circulate to reduce waste

FUTURE PLASTIC™
Create zero impact materials

Circulate to reduce waste

Plastic should be treated as a valuable resource. By embracing a circular economy model across the entire product lifecycle—from sourcing and design to production and recycling—we can continually reuse circular materials, reduce dependence on virgin plastics, and significantly lower our environmental impact.

Circular Design

Design for the end of life

Starting at the design roots, our phone cases embrace a mono-material essence—engineered for disassembly, crafted with non-toxic materials, and built for a 100% circular rebirth.

Circular Production

Longer life, Smaller footprint

From anti-yellowing technology to materials engineered for extended circular life, our products are built to last. Because when durability means less waste—why settle for anything less?

Circular Service

Close the loop—Recycle and reborn

We’ve built a closed-loop recycling service to bring discarded phone cases back into the cycle, giving them new life. It’s an open invitation for you to join the loop and be part of the solution.

Circular Innovation

AirX—Where sustainability meets performance

Planet or performance? We choose both. Our AirX ultra-cushioned case delivers industry-leading protection—all while adhering to mono-material standards and remaining 100% recyclable.

Route 2: Legacy Plastic™

Clean to revive oceans

Each year, up to 12.7 million tons of human waste end up in our oceans. Toxic microplastics are released into the marine ecosystem. This is a legacy we must confront. Ocean cleanup is no easy task—but we're committed to creating meaningful change by turning ocean waste into products, empowering communities, and advancing cleanup technologies.

Ocean Community

Turning tide into action

Protecting the ocean starts with action. From organizing regular beach cleanups with our team to supporting ocean advocates, we’re committed to turning awareness into impact, one wave at a time.

Ocean Waste

Marine waste upcycling products

We’re engineering upcycling methods for recovered plastics. Watch straps, lanyards, and phone cases made from recycled fishing nets are just the beginning as we integrate waste into the circular economy.

Ocean Technology

CircularBlue™—our bold initiative to reset the ocean

We develop a smart, modular, and energy-efficient platform to tackle coastal marine debris—powered by automation, AI, and a circular mindset.

Route 3: Future Plastic™

Create zero impact materials

Can RHINOSHIELD create a phone case that truly coexists with nature? That’s the moonshot challenge our lab scientists have set for the next decade. We’re actively exploring how to “grow” plant-based materials that could one day replace petroleum-based plastics for good.

Agenda

Reinventing plastics: nature-inspired, zero impact

You might wonder—aren’t there already bioplastics made from sugarcane or corn? Yes, but here’s the catch: natural ingredients ≠ natural biodegradability. Our goal is to develop the ideal material—one that can break down completely in the natural environment.

Project

Cross-national labs collaboration

We’re collaborating with cross-national labs to develop a future material with all the benefits of plastic but zero impact on the environment. We’ve made groundbreaking progress and can’t wait to share more with you soon.

Challenge

Microplastic: the environmental challenge of the future

Microplastics are small but harmful—polluting nature and entering our lives unseen. We're pushing for materials that fully degrade without a trace, and we won’t stop until real solutions are found.

Leading the way toward plastic neutral society

Multiple routes, same destination.
Our ultimate goal: recover more plastic from the environment than we use in production. We collect ocean waste, maximize circularity of our products, and invest in nature-based materials. These combined efforts aim to reduce virgin plastic use and replace petroleum-based plastics. We believe plastic neutrality is achievable in the near future.
