SUSTAINABILITY AT TECH21
At Tech21, we are constantly looking for ways to innovate our processes and products, to reduce or remove our environmental footprint and improve the way we manufacture products for our planet, without sacrificing impact protection for your devices.

So serious are we in fact, that one of our key innovation technologies was the development of our unique bio-spice, our Waste Responsible Innovation* technology, a material ingredient crafted by our science team to make our cases ‘tastier’ to microorganisms living in landfill environments.

WASTE RESPONSIBLE INNOVATION
Embedded in selected cases, our Waste Responsible Innovation technology (bio-spice) gives our customers complete peace of mind that they are not harming the earth with their plastic case protection – once customers are finished with their Tech21 product, they can simply throw it away in a bin and the case will disintegrate into the soil leaving no trace of microplastics behind, in just a few years.
Of course, this biotechnology is simply added to our foundation of durable, multi-drop impact protection, a feature that underpins our entire product range, proving that sustaining and protecting your tech doesn’t have to literally cost the earth.
HOW IT WORKS
Our cases break down into organic molecules (atoms which are bonded together), that appeal to the tiny microorganisms that are essential for all living things.
Enzymes (chemical substances found in living things) are expelled into the ground.
Elements of the case dissolve into the ground. Some elements dissolve in water.
(ALL THSE PROCESSES HAPEN SIMULTANEOSLY)

Some enzymes attach to the surface of the case and divide up. Other enzymes spread across the space surrounding the case.
Our additive ingredient works as a ’special spice’- making the molecules more appetising to microorganisms.

REDUCE & RECYCLE
On top of these technologies, from our fully recycled packaging to our latest sustainable range featuring 100% recycled and fully biodegradable* impact-proof cases, we are focused more than ever on improving the way we work. And when it comes to our manufacturing process, our Science & Engineering teams are working with The National Physical Laboratory to develop industry-revolutionising tooling machines in order to massively reduce our waste and CO2 emissions. Tech21 is heading for a much greener, more sustainable future.
*These cases feature our in-house Waste Responsible Innovation technology that will biodegrade** in landfill environments in a matter of just a few years. Our materials have been independently tested by Eden Research Laboratory, Albuquerque, USA.
This product is not considered biodegradable in some parts of the world, including California,
Maryland, Washington and France.
**Actual biodegradation rates will vary in biologically active landfills according to the type of plastic used, the product configuration, and the solid content, temperature and moisture levels of the landfill.
