A Baby Rhino's Guide to Eating Mono-material Phone Case

Meet the cutest sustainability ambassador you've ever seen: our baby rhino! This little champion is here to reveal something that might surprise you: your phone case choice can actually help save the planet.

He's irresistibly adorable. He's perpetually hungry. And he's got a crucial message to share: What your phone case is made of truly matters for our future.

Why Mono-Material Matters

Recycling appears straightforward: toss it in the bin, let someone sort it out, and voilà! But here's where it gets complicated: when a product combines multiple materials, such as rubber, adhesives, different plastics, it becomes virtually impossible to recycle effectively.

This is precisely why mono-material design is revolutionary: One material = Streamlined recycling = Effortless reuse = Reduced waste = A thriving planet.

Sometimes the smallest design decisions create the biggest environmental impact.

Mixed Materials vs. Mono-Material

Picture this: A mixed-material phone case is like a bizarre ten-layer sandwich with incompatible ingredients. Intriguing? Perhaps. Recyclable? Absolutely not.

Each component requires separate processing, and most recycling facilities simply won't tackle the challenge. No recycling pathway means one destination: the landfill.

A mono-material case? It's like a perfectly simple, wholesome snack: easy to process and easy to give new life.
