Pela Case is a Canadian company that creates compostable phone cases, Apple Watch bands, AirPods cases, and other tech accessories, founded in 2010 by Jeremy Lang in Kelowna, British Columbia. The brand claims to have created the world's first compostable phone case, made from Flaxstic, a proprietary material composed of flax straw waste and plant-based biopolymers that can break down in a backyard compost bin within a few years. Pela's mission is to create a waste-free future, and the company has diverted millions of pounds of plastic from oceans and landfills through its products and advocacy. Beyond phone cases, Pela has expanded into a broader range of sustainable products through its Pela Earth initiative and Lomi brand, the latter being a countertop kitchen composter that accelerates the breakdown of food waste. The company is a certified B Corporation and a member of 1% for the Planet, donating a portion of revenue to environmental nonprofits. Pela operates a take-back program called Pela 360, allowing customers to return their old phone cases for composting. The brand's product designs range from minimalist solid colors to artistic collaborations and seasonal patterns, catering to consumers who want to protect their devices without contributing to plastic pollution. Pela has raised significant venture capital funding and has grown rapidly, selling millions of cases worldwide through its direct-to-consumer website and select retail partners. The brand has become a symbol of the zero-waste movement in the consumer technology accessories market.
