Why Eco Case-FANSONG GRS Recycled Phone Cases

Why Eco Case

Why Eco CaseOver one billion plastic phone cases are sold each year. Unfortunately, most of them are made from virgin plastic, 91% of plastic waste is not recycled, since most plastics cannot be biodegraded naturally in any sense, all plastic waste may exist for hundreds of even thousands of years. Choose an eco-friendly version by opting for a recycled and biodegradable phone case to ensure your phone is sustainable and stylish. 1.

GRS - How to Turn Waste into Treasure 3.1 A recycled phone case is one that is made from materials that have been collected, processed, and reused to create new products or materials. This often involves the collection, sorting, and processing of waste to ensure that materials can be effectively reprocessed and utilized again. 3.2 The reuse of recycled materials can reduce the demand for natural resources and minimize the environmental impact of waste. 4. Production Process of GRS Phone Case 4.1 Production Process of GRS Phone Case: PET bottles → Recycled → Decomposition & Grinding → Melted to be fiber and yarn → Recycled PU base → Wallet case 4.2 Production Process of GRS Leather Case: PET bottles → Recycled → Decomposition & Grinding → Melted to be fiber and yarn → PU substrate 5. Biodegradable Case 5.1 What if you don't want recycled plastic, biodegradable case would be another good choice: 100% biodegradable materials (plants, seeds, wheat straw), no plastic! 6. Why GRS Phone Case 6.1 The average smartphone lasts between 2 to 4 years, and that's assuming you don't decide to upgrade to new technology every two years. During that time, you could change your cellphone case multiple times — either because it breaks, or because you simply want a different design. 6.2 Environmental Benefits: Using recycled materials reduces the need for new plastic production, lowering resource consumption and carbon emissions. 6.3 Waste Reduction: Recycled phone cases help utilize waste plastic, decreasing landfill waste and promoting a circular economy. 6.4 Sustainability: Recycled materials can match the quality of new materials, extending product lifespan and contributing to sustainable practices. 6.5 Consumer Awareness: An increasing number of consumers prioritize eco-friendly products, driving demand for sustainable alternatives. 7.

Recycled phone cases are favored for their sustainability. 8.2 Smartphone Proliferation: The widespread adoption of smartphones drives the demand for phone cases, with estimates suggesting billions of units sold annually. The share of eco-friendly materials in this market is gradually rising. 8.3 Brand Responsibility: More brands are incorporating recycled materials into their product lines to meet consumer demand for sustainable options. This trend enhances the visibility of recycled phone cases in the market. 9. Future Trends 9.1 Market Growth Projections: The market for eco-friendly phone cases is expected to continue growing over the next few years, with annual growth rates potentially reaching 10% or higher as consumer demand for sustainable products increases. 9.2 Technological Innovation: Advances in recycling technology will lead to improved processing methods, producing higher-quality eco-friendly phone cases that enhance market competitiveness. 9.3 Personalization and Design: Consumers are increasingly seeking personalized and unique designs. The market for eco-friendly phone cases will likely diversify in design to attract a broader audience. 9.4 Policy Support: Governments may implement more policies supporting sustainable products, such as subsidies, tax incentives, and bans on single-use plastics, further driving demand for recycled phone cases. 9.5 Brand Competition: As market competition intensifies, brands will focus more on sustainability and transparency, with consumers increasingly scrutinizing brands' environmental commitments and practices. 10. Recycled and Eco Wallet Case Categories 10.1 Water-Based Biological Leather 10.1.1 Water-based bio-based leather is made from plant-derived materials (such as bamboo, apple peel) and water-based coatings, offering sustainability and reducing reliance on petroleum-based products. 10.1.2 Water-based bio-based leather typically has good softness and wear resistance while maintaining the appearance and texture of leather. 10.1.3 Many water-based bio-based leathers can decompose under appropriate conditions, helping to reduce waste and lessen environmental impact. 10.1.4 The production process for water-based leathers produces fewer VOCs, making them safer for indoor air quality and human health. Raw Materials: pineapple, grape skin, cactus, seaweed, trees and bamboo Production Process: Biodegradable pulp: Use special technology to make pulp that meets fiber production requirements Biodegradable fiber: The pulp is processed into high-quality, multi-functional, degradable cellulose fiber and viscose fiber, and then made into yarn and staple fiber which is natural antibacterial Biodegradable PU substrate: Made from biodegradable fiber by knitting, woven and non-woven methods PU base: Made by wet process Bio-based PU: The surface layer of PU made by dry process can be degraded, and the bio-substrate can be degraded too 10.2 Solvent-Free Silicone 10.2.1 Solvent-free silicone is an environmentally friendly polymer material. It does not contain solvent-based silicone resins, heavy metals, or aromatic hydrocarbon solvents, and is non-toxic to the human body. It is an environmentally friendly material, not recyclable leather. 10.2.2 The production process does not involve solvents, significantly reducing volatile organic compounds (VOCs) emissions, making it safer for the environment and human health. 10.2.3 Silicone materials are known for their excellent resistance to water, heat, and chemicals, resulting in a longer-lasting product. 10.2.4 Solvent-free silicone leather typically has a soft texture that closely resembles natural leather, providing a comfortable feel. 10.3 GRS Leather 10.3.1 GRS leather can be made from various recycled materials. Common materials include: Recycled PET (RPET): Made from recycled plastic bottles, reducing plastic waste and the need for virgin materials. RPET is strong and resistant to wear, making it suitable for various applications. Lightweight material that is generally lighter than traditional leather, enhancing comfort in products. RPET is usually combined with water-based PU. It does not add DMF (industrial organic solvent) or VOC (paint volatile compounds) during production. The PET material accounts for 20% by weight. It is typically RPET + water-based PU. Recycled Polyvinyl Butyral (PVB): Derived from recycled glass interlayers, contributing to reduced landfill waste. RPVB provides flexibility and durability. It can be used on the face layer (76%) and the bottom layer (20%), with the remainder being oily PU. Recycled PVC (RPVC): Sourced from recycled PVC materials, used to improve leather durability. Recycled Leather (Reclaimed Leather): Made from scraps or offcuts of leather, minimizing waste in the leather industry. Each piece can have unique characteristics, offering a distinct look for each product. 10.4 RCS (Recycled Claim Standard) 10.4.1 RCS is recycled material + oily PU. In the process of oily PU, DMF or VOC will be added during production. DMF is a harmful substance, but it will evaporate when it comes into contact with water. However, it is not 100% and there will be residues, so factories that make oily PU will use a lot of water. 10.5 Recycled Percentage in Each Leather Type Leather Type Recycled/Degradable Percentage GRS Recyclable Materials (RPET+PU) Usually between 30% - 50% GRS Recyclable Materials (RPET+PU+RPVB) More than 85% Water-Based Bio-Based Leather Usually between 40% - 80% RCS (Recycled Material + Oily PU) Usually between 30% - 50%
