\n Gomi makes consumer tech accessories from non-recyclable waste plastic and operates out of a studio in Gloucester Street in Brighton.\n<\/p>\n
\n The phone case is the business\u2019 third product, following its popular range of power banks and speakers.\n<\/p>\n
\n Globally, it is estimated that 50 million kilos of phone cases are thrown away every year – and almost none are recycled.\n<\/p>\n
\n Gomi hopes to challenge this state of affairs with the launch of the Forever Phone Case, a fully repairable and upgrade-for-life case made only from recycled \u201cnon-recyclable\u201d waste plastic.\n<\/p>\n
\n Tom Meades, co-founder of Gomi, said: \u201cThe phone case industry is estimated to be worth around \u00a325bn globally – selling products that don\u2019t last, to keep you buying more. It\u2019s the definition of waste.\n<\/p>\n
\n \u201cWe knew we\u2019d only design a phone case if it was exciting enough to disrupt a broken system – so here\u2019s one built to outlive your phone\u2019s planned obsolescence, not just protect it.\u201d\n<\/p>\n
\n \u201cSo the Forever Case was born. Made from 100% recycled waste plastic films – the stuff most councils still don\u2019t recycle. If it breaks, we repair it for free.\n<\/p>\n
\n \u201cIf you upgrade your phone, you send the case back and we melt it into your new model. Same material. Same marbling. No waste.\u201d\n<\/p>\n

\n The Forever Case is made from LDPE (Low-density polyethylene) collected across the UK: plastic bags, pallet wrap, food packaging – materials widely considered \u2018non-recyclable\u2019 by most councils around the UK.\n<\/p>\n
\n At Gomi\u2019s Brighton studio, the plastic is melted and reformed by hand, giving every case a unique marbled finish. No two cases are the same.\n<\/p>\n
\n The Forever Case will be available in seven iPhone models, including iPhone 16 and 17, with more coming soon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Gomi makes consumer tech accessories from non-recyclable waste plastic and operates out of a studio in Gloucester Street…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":185506,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[16],"tags":[85,46,321,125],"class_list":{"0":"post-185505","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-mobile","8":"tag-il","9":"tag-israel","10":"tag-mobile","11":"tag-technology"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/185505","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=185505"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/185505\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/185506"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=185505"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=185505"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=185505"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
