One thing to add, a true compost situation generates a lot of heat, so would very likely decompose much faster. This was a really interesting video, well done!
This is so interesting! My local zero waste shop has started selling all their refills in bio plastics because of covid and I hate it. I currently have no way of composting aside from a few indoor plants so I feel just as guilty throwing all the bio plastic in general waste... it's good to know you can literally just put some of it in your plant pots and it will still degrade though!
How sad! I've seen that all over the world. It's hard for lots of people to compost, I wish it was more accessible but some stuff aparently just needs dirt!
I don’t have a pela case because I still have a (plastic) case that fits my current phone (lol it’s falling apart tho)... I guess all phone cases fall apart eventually but I’ve heard great things about the pela case and if you NEED a phone case, it’s probably the best choice
Yeah, there are lots of things that will be made of compostable plastic in the future. We just have to advocate for them by purchasing those items (when we need them) from companies that offer them and make sure companies that don't offer them know there is a demand!
We both made Pela videos this weekend! Watching the breakdown was really interesting. I am thinking of composting one of the pairs of sunglasses I got. What do you think?
That would be SOO cool to see!!! I'm just starting to catch up on my RUclips videos since vacay so I'll be watching that soon and can't wait to check it out ;)
This is super cool! Love that you showed the case just buried in standard patio plants instead of in an official compost setup, because realistically, many people do not or cannot compost. It shows the accessibility of it!! This is also super cool that you filmed this over so much time, major props!👏👏 The Kanye comment🤣 2020 was really a time warp lol. "Poop video" at the end cracked me up🤣
YES! I thought about doing compost but that went into consideration. Let's see if it decomposes in just soil! Also, I didn't wanna dig around in stinky compost haha! Omg all the 2020 comments sprinkled in, what a year!
This was so interesting! Thanks for testing if it actually composts and for filming the whole process. I laughed when you said that someone stole that piece you weren’t able to find😂
Great video! I have had 3 pela cases, (using the 3rd now). They are great and last super long. I had my last one for two years. Its great to see that it does decompose!
That’s crazy it would decompose so fast (relatively)! I am using cloth diapers for my baby, so it would be interesting to see how long it takes cotton fibers to decompose... though RUclips might not be around that long lol 🙃
Its great you checked to see if it decomposes, I don't think anyone regulates the claim. I always wonder if companies saying they use ocean plastic actually do.
Also yes I’d be so curious to see cardboard... I never have the patience to watch things decompose I just hope they were honest and will actually break down
I was really curious about the Pela case.. pela doesn't have a case for my current phone (not a flagship) so I haven't gotten it yet but I was curious about it actually breaking down. Hope you're doing well.
My first thought was oh wow good question!! My second thought was omg pela cases are really expensive it would be hard for me to compost it hahahahaha but it’s true that if it old it’s ok hahahahaha
They are an investment but so worth it and if you use it for years, you get your money's worth and it's better in the dirt than in a bag in the landfill :)
I got Nespresso coffee machine for my birthday with compostable coffee capsules. It's hard to believe that thay will decompose, so I'm experimenting as well, but so far I don't see any changes, but it has only been 1 month. I'm very curious how it will go ☺️
@@TheSimpleEnvironmentalist I also put them with my plants. We do have a community compost in front of our house, but it's huge so I would have to swim in it to find it 😅
that's a tough one. Pela because they're compostable but recycled bc it's not made from new materials. So, i'd say whatever is more important to you :)
lololololssss ever bury a plastic bag? it gets brittle and 'decomposes' just as much. to the point where it crumbles into nothing. i'm not sold, to say the least. love your videos, but i'm not sold on Pela just yet :P
Hmm...I may just have to try that next. Plastic does degrade but never fully breaks down. Some of my Pela case had compeltely vanished while with plastic bags remain microplstics forever!
One thing to add, a true compost situation generates a lot of heat, so would very likely decompose much faster. This was a really interesting video, well done!
YES! Totally meant to mention that! Thanks for the add :)
this video is like an action movie it has a mystery, cat, tresure hunting, pretty aloes, possible robbery, dog and an ending we root for xD
Oh my gosh YESS!! Best analogy for my videos ever haha!
I know this takes forever to film, but it really is so helpful to see!
They're honestly so much fun to film and edit! I'm so glad they're useful :)
8 months! Thanks for this
It was hard work but so worth it!
Trust, but verify.
Good job.
EXACTLY!!! I love to trust companies but I love to see proof first hand!

This was so interesting! I have recently got a pela case and was so curious if it would decompose just in soil at home! Such a good video
These videos are so much fun to make! So glad they're helpful!
If I could give this a thumbs up twice, I would! I have really wondered about what to do with my old Pela case. Love your content.
TOO SWEET thank you so much, Amanda! Happy to help :)
This is the first video of yours I’ve ever seen and you did NOT disappoint 😂 off to the poop bag video!
yesssss thank you so much!!
This was such a cool and interesting video! I feel like some creators don’t test the claims of sustainable brands but you definitely do!
For sure I felt the same so I want to run these tests for myself and share them with the world!

Completely agree! If you need one, go for a compostable one!
@@CocoShin YESSSS!!
I just found your channel- really appreciating the content! have very similar beliefs so is a wonderful little time in my day :)
Aww thank you so much, Grace!!
Awesome experient!!! So curious to see the results!
Isn't it neat to see it!
Very interesting to see whether the claims companies make about their ecofriendly products actually has any basis in reality. Well done.
isn't it?! thank you!

You two compliment each other.
AWw thank you!
Love pela phone case just wish they had my type of phone case. But really great company to support
I'm sure they are working to create more styles!

Wow that was so interesting! Congrats on keeping on checking on the case for all those months! :)
It was so hard to remember haha!

Great video! I have had 3 pela cases, (using the 3rd now). They are great and last super long. I had my last one for two years. Its great to see that it does decompose!
They are great cases and so good to know it really goes away at the end of it's life!
That’s crazy it would decompose so fast (relatively)! I am using cloth diapers for my baby, so it would be interesting to see how long it takes cotton fibers to decompose... though RUclips might not be around that long lol 🙃
Right?! I was shocked at the progress! hahahahaha so true but would be cool to see!
Its great you checked to see if it decomposes, I don't think anyone regulates the claim. I always wonder if companies saying they use ocean plastic actually do.
I agree! That is why I'm testing all sorts of bioplastics on this channel to see if their claims hold!
I've two cases from them since 2018 and they are amazing!
They work so well and now knowing they decompose is so cool!
That was cool to see. And good to know!
So glad! It was a lot of fun to film as well :)
Awesome! Lovely video
Thank you so much!
Cool experiment!
Thank you Misti!!
Also yes I’d be so curious to see cardboard... I never have the patience to watch things decompose I just hope they were honest and will actually break down
These experiments are so much fun for me to do!! But yes, I also hold probably too much trust in brands haha
amazing! thank you for your dedication and for your very informative videos
so glad you enjoyed this! Thank you :)
I love this video so much lol idk it’s just good
Aww thank you!!

I've been curious for a while so I just found out myself!
@@TheSimpleEnvironmentalist I love that!
I remember the bx on Zama base.
Tooo cute together. Please stay together ❤.
Aww thanks! You'll have to check out our joint channel :)
Nice dedication 👌
Aww thank you!
6:41 what is that beautiful bright pink flower called?
it might have been on orchid?? im not sure now
Cool video idea 😀
Thank you Julia!!
Thank you for doing this
Of course! IT's so much fun :)

do you compost them at home to see how long it takes? or does your city have compost? that is super cool though!
@@TheSimpleEnvironmentalist I also put them with my plants. We do have a community compost in front of our house, but it's huge so I would have to swim in it to find it 😅
@@juliechlebovska1838 ohhh gotcha! no worries i was just curious :)
Amazing video and great video idea! I haven’t watched anything like this before from fellow zero wasters on RUclips.
Thank you so much! Glad it's unique :) it was sooo much fun, I love doing experiments like this!
What is better Pela case or a case from recycled plastic?
that's a tough one. Pela because they're compostable but recycled bc it's not made from new materials. So, i'd say whatever is more important to you :)
Omg you're weird...
I like it!
I'm weird too
Embracing my weirdness haha
