Reduce

Pela is implementing a Reduction Action Plan to reduce emissions from within its own operations and supply chain.

  • Streamline transportation routes for transporting the finished product to distribution centres (add distribution centres in Canada and Europe).

  • Continue to promote the Pela 360 Program globally to decrease product end-of-life waste by increasing recycling of conventional phone cases and to increasing upcycling and composting of Pela phone cases.

We are not perfect, but we believe in better and we know we are better together. Pela makes everyday products without everyday waste to create a waste free future and to educate and inspire a global community of people who are committed to making a positive impact on our planet.
