The Smartphone has never been more popular. In the modern age, our phones have become an extension of self, we use them constantly to update, navigate and traverse the modern landscape. We check the traffic, monitor the weather and use GPS to make our way around. 

According to an article published in  Tech World there are up to five billion cell phone users across the globe – that’s a lot of handsets. Because most modern smartphones are so delicate, most people choose to protect their phone with a case. The trouble is most of these cases are made from environmentally detrimental materials. With over a billion new handsets sold every year, that adds up to a big pile of waste heading to the landfill or even worse, the ocean.

Thankfully, there are better options out there. Many proactive companies have begun to offer greener, earth-friendly phone accessories. We’ve picked our two favourites and outlined the benefits of their products.
