PopSockets created PopGrip Plant as a more environmentally friendly phone grip made from corn starch, castor beans, and canola oil. The product can be found in fun colors like Ice Blue and Light Jade, with more styles to follow later this year. With the launch of this eco-friendly phone grip, the brand hopes to inspire people to embrace the #smallstepsbigimpact challenge, which calls for small shifts in daily routines.
In its research, PopSockets found that creating a compostable product would break down to reduce methane gases and emissions and a plant-based plastic alternative was chosen, featuring a 35% plant-based design; the top is 56% corn starch from Europe, the accordion component is 52% canola oil from Europe.
