Make Your iPhone Case Bloom (After Use) – iGreen Cover®

The First and Only iPhone Case in the World that You Can Plant After Use and Watch Beautiful Flowers & Plants Grow From. The material it’s made from contains seeds, and once planted in soil, it will decompose, releasing the seeds embedded within. Made entirely from compostable material, certified, patented & 100% Made in Italy (Global Patent Pending: application n. PCT/IB2023/058667). The iGreen Cover is available in 3 colors (green, blue, and yellow). Each color corresponds to a different flower/plant: green for “basil,” blue for “forget-me-not,” and yellow for “daisy.” iGreen Cover® offers a unique post-consumer experience, allowing you to literally give life to the case once its use is over. Less Plastic, More Life.

The Mission

The iGreen Seed Case was created to raise awareness among consumers and businesses about the environmental impact of producing and using non-recoverable plastic phone cases. Few realize that over 20,000 tons of non-recoverable plastics enter the market each year just for smartphone cases alone.

How many Plastic Covers are produced on an Annual Basis?

A problem, that of plastic Covers, which has determined a high impact from an environmental point of view. In fact, it is estimated that about 1 billion Covers are sold each year worldwide. Almost all plastic Covers contain about 20 grams of non-recyclable plastic. This generates more than 20 thousand tons of plastic each year just to create Smartphone Covers. Plastic that takes an average of 500 years to decompose.

How many of the Plastic Covers can actually be recovered?

The vast majority of phone cases are made from various types of plastics, which are then mixed together, meaning that they cannot be effectively recycled or reused. For example, some parts of the covers are soft on the side of the case, other parts are more firm on the back of the phone and there is often fleece or felt film on the inside. These are called mixed material fractions and are a recycling nightmare. Currently, there are unfortunately only two ways to dispose of the vast majority of plastic covers on the market: take them to a landfill or burn them. In both cases, the covers are not recycled.

The Unique Material of iGreen Cover®

iGreen Cover® is the result of two years of materials research and development.
The resulting material is unique, both in its ability to provide the strength and flexibility needed to be able to best protect mobile devices, and because it provides true compostability of the material once it’s soil and moist.

The iGreen Cover material is based on corn starch, an organic compound that allows the seeds present in the cover to be nourished as they are absorbed into the soil, once planted.

The very presence of seeds, living elements within the material, provides iGreen Cover® with unique compostability. Absorption of the material occurs much faster, as the small roots of the flowers and plants growing out of the cover feed on the cornstarch in the material, helping it dissolve.

The material of iGreen Cover® is 100% Natural and the same powders that are used for the colors, which account for only 0.2% of the material, are naturally based.

Each Color corresponds to a different seed:

1.1 Green: with Basil seeds

1.2 Yellow: with Daisy seeds

1.3 Light Blue: with Forget-me-nots seeds

But how long do the Seeds inside the Cover take to sprout?

Few days! In fact, the release of the seeds once planted on the ground at an angle of 30° will be immediate. On the inside of the cover there is a drawer containing seeds, protected by a special film which, in addition to protecting the surface of your iPhone, will dissolve once placed on the ground and wet, allowing the seeds to be released immediately. You will live a unique experience by carrying the seeds with you throughout the life of the cover, seeds that will be protected by the cover and your iPhone and then give life to flowers and plants.

iGreen Cover® instructions for use

1. 1. Once the life of the cover protecting your iPhone is over, remove it and get a vase.

2. Plant iGreen Cover® at a 30-degree angle making sure that the inside of the cover is exposed to the top.

3. Add water, sunshine and love.

4. Wait a few weeks and watch your Cover Bloom!

The Italian Patent of iGreen Cover®

iGreen Cover® is a certified, patented and 100% Made in Italy product. Its patented Seed Release System allows you to see flowers and plants grow after only a few days after the cover is placed in the ground.
Also patented is the presence of live seeds within the material itself, seeds that are released as the material decomposes, a cornstarch-based material that as it decomposes will nourish the seedlings.

FAQ

How Long Does the Seed Cover Last?

The cover has been designed to last, so it won’t start to decompose or change in structure until it is planted. You can use it just as you have used your plastic covers until now.

Will Water Ruin the Cover?

Absolutely not, the cover will not start to decompose until it is placed in a pot in contact with the soil. Water alone will not affect the material at all. In fact, the external part can be washed with a damp cloth in case it gets dirty 🙂

Does it interfere with Wireless charging?

No, our numerous tests have shown that iGreen Cover does not interfere in any way with the Wireless charging process; the devices function properly both as an accessory and in the car.
