Recycling & Circular Economy
Recycling & Circular Economy
Our SmartShell 6 and the HangHub are made from a combination of recycled and recyclable polypropylene (PP) and natural wheat straw fibers.
At the end of their useful life, the cover and the HangHub cover can be disposed of with general waste.
There, under suitable conditions, the material decomposes without leaving harmful residues or persistent microplastics.
Since there are currently no comprehensive take-back systems for bioplastics in Europe, we recommend this disposal method.

FAQs
Will the case still fit if I use a screen protector or camera lens protector?
Yes, our case is designed to be compatible with standard screen and camera protectors. The raised edges provide additional protection without affecting the fit.
Will the case wear out over time, or will it remain sturdy?
Our hard cases are not made of soft silicone, but of a sturdy biomaterial with a slight degree of elasticity. This ensures that the fit remains precise over time—without stretching out or becoming loose.
Can I also use the HangHub with other chains or straps?
Yes. The HangHub is universally compatible—you can use any chain or loop with a carabiner.
What is the card slot for?
It is designed to be used with the Biowaves HangHub —to securely attach wrist straps or carrying straps.
Can I remove the HangHub?
Yes. It isn't glued in place; instead, it's simply inserted and can be removed or replaced at any time.
What exactly is the case made of?
The Biowaves case is made from a biodegradable, toxin-free blend of materials that includes recycled components. It contains no plasticizers, BPA, or other harmful additives, and is skin-friendly and odorless.
Is the case really biodegradable? How does it work?
Yes—the material was designed to break down completely under industrial or natural conditions. This process produces no microplastics or environmentally harmful residues.
Under ideal conditions in industrial composting facilities, the degradation process is particularly efficient. Unfortunately, such facilities are not yet widespread throughout Europe.
Where is the case manufactured?
Our cases are designed in Germany and manufactured in collaboration with certified, fair-trade partners. This ensures that production, quality, and working conditions meet our sustainability standards.
