The Plastic Wave by Pela was made in partnership with Save the Waves and artist ambassador Ethan Estess out of 1,000 phone cases sent to Pela by new customers making the switch from plastic to plant-based through Pela’s 360 Program.
We are on a mission to remove plastic from our oceans, so we can ride waves like these plastic-free. Whether you live next to a body of water or not, the plastic problem is all of ours. Here's why:
- 91% of single-use plastics end up in landfills and the sea.
- 70% of our earth is covered by oceans, making plastic pollution a major contributor to global warming.
- Over 700 marine species are in danger of extinction due to plastic in our oceans.
- Micro-plastics are found in everyday items we ingest such as tap water, beer, and salt!
- Over 1 billion plastic phone cases are sold each year.
- The average person changes their phone every 18-24 months, but their case lasts for hundreds of thousands of years.
Now, it probably took you about a minute to read that. In that time, the equivalent of ONE HUNDRED of these waves entered our ocean. That's the equivalent to 100,000 phone cases!!!
It's time to turn off the faucet of plastic pollution.
