BodyGuardz announces new sustainable next-generation iPhone case lineup

KINGSPORT, Tennessee

BodyGuardz, a leader in mobile device protection, today announced a line of sustainable phone cases for the next generation of iPhones. The lineup is made with recyclable materials like bioplastics and Tritan™ Renew from Eastman, with 50% certified recycled content.* This lineup will give consumers phone case options that are top quality in protection as well as sustainability.

Tritan Renew is powered by revolutionary new molecular recycling technology that transforms single-use plastic waste into basic building blocks used to make durable, high-performance materials such as phone cases. This process diverts plastic waste from landfills or from ending up in the environment or waterways while lowering the use of fossil fuels and greenhouse gas emissions. BodyGuardz is the first maker to produce phone cases with these materials, placing them ahead of the curve.

“We have seen sustained demand for protective cases that provide quality style, protection, and sustainability,” said Ryan Noel, Director of Marketing at BodyGuardz. “This year’s lineup goes the extra mile by incorporating Tritan Renew. Consumers can be assured their cases come from a source dedicated to a reduced carbon footprint and recycling waste plastic into new, durable materials.”
BodyGuardz’s new case lineup will help reduce the amount of plastic in landfills, oceans, and other vital outdoor environments that are being affected by the extra waste. By investing in Tritan Renew certified recycled content, recyclable packaging, and bioplastics, BodyGuardz is providing consumers a way to live a more environmentally conscious lifestyle.

“Our partnership with BodyGuardz is important because they view sustainability as a mission, not just a tactic," said Courtland Jenkins, commercial director of specialty plastics at Eastman. “In an industry where many companies use sustainability as a talking point, BodyGuardz is putting their money where their mouth is to make sustainably sourced products.”
The following BodyGuardz products will be available for the next generation of iPhone devices:

[Solitude Case]: Pops of bright, playful colors compliment the eco-friendly design of Solitude, which features a slim profile, textured edge grip and an 8-foot drop rating.

[Carve Case]: A returning favorite, Carve combines eye-catching aesthetics with practical function. The sculpted edge provides no-slip grip, is made of bioplastic and also includes an 8-foot drop rating.

[Bravo Case]: Striking, classic colors meet beautiful, curved edges with the Bravo case. It features a firm backplate for improved strength, a 12-foot drop rating and touch-intuitive buttons.
