We're committed to building products that outlast the competition. When we built different kinds of cases and accessories from these materials, we intended to make them last. Both aramid fiber and carbon fiber are highly durable and scratch-resistant, ideal for making things that we use daily, such as phone cases and wallets. In fact, they can outlast steel and aluminum, which can no longer be used safely when the metal fatigues, but those fiber composites remain stable indefinitely.
We won't begin mass production to reduce manufacturing waste unless we decide a product is worth to our customers after tons of marketing research and asking our customers for their opinions.
In 2019, we discovered that more and more leftover materials were processed using burial treatment since manufacturers couldn’t process those small-sized materials. So we designed a series of products in various sizes to get the most out of those leftover materials, reducing waste and bringing more practical and unique products to our users.
Our Carbon Fiber Watch Band includes some links from carbon fiber cutoffs and recycled materials from our carbon fiber wallets and other products.
Learn MoreThe raised camera lips on our iPhone 15 cases are made from leftover aramid fibers. It’s eco-friendly and built to last.
Learn MoreOur MagEZ Grip is made with production leftovers including metal lens rings on old phone cases.
Learn MorePITAKA replaced EVA foam with paper in packaging starting from 2019. By 2021, we totally get rid of EVA foam in packaging. In 2022, taking a big step forward, we used 100% biodegradable materials to make our iPhone 14 case packages, most of which are bagasse. Bagasse is an environmentally friendly material that generates no wastewater and requires no printing ink or plastic during manufacturing. For every 400 package boxes made using bagasse from sugar factories, we save a 40-year-old tree from being cut down to produce paper.
In September 2022, we planted 1,000 trees in Africa. And it's just beginning. We will be planting more trees around the globe in areas where trees are most needed.
