Thunderfoot just made a video on the Pela case and if you send him a sample of yours it can told you exactly which plastic it is! (Check the video from around 18:20 to 19:00 min to see the relevant part). He is also interesting in testing similar 'biodegradable' cases that you may have. I think that could be an interesting test and maybe result in a little colab?
It's Thunderf00t with 0's not o's, in case she can't find him. ruclips.net/video/96edx7p9KIQ/видео.html Is the video. I came here from his video too. When I saw Eleanor in Thunderf00t's video at first I thought she was a girl I had a huge crush on in high school, but was way too shy to talk to. It's not her, but does resemble her a lot. In my opinion there's no phone case worth $60, especially if it's made of the exact same material as a $3 case from China. I'd love to see Thunderf00t do a followup video with an actual piece of one of the $60 cases to confirm that.
I would really be curious to see an analysis of what remains where the cases “broke down”, just to see if there is really no dangerous material left behind
Good try! Not very helpful the fist two attempt as, who ever does composting knows that, you don't find the composting elements in just bury it, (Oxigen, Humidity, Heat) I can argue by experience that also your composting method is one of the least efficient and slow process that exist. Pela Web side also strongly recommend industrial composting for 90 Days (which has Higher temperatures necessary for this particular durable composting product) and 6 months to a yea for home composting. Good to watch though thanks.
Currently Pela claims 6 mo to 2 yr. They claim the material meets european EN 13432 which requires 90% degradation in 6 months in controlled environment (so many variables as shown in video).
Great video! Bit of a bummer but still better than plastic. I am currently looking into getting a eco-friendly case for my new phone. Curious if anyone has had good results with any other brands?
@@EseJandroI know that a 100% decomposable polymer is PHAs They're naturally produced and consumed by bacteria and basically act as bacteria fat, what they use to store excess energy
Tough to do this test since you’re supposed to chop it up into tiny pieces with scissors before doing what you did… but then you wouldn’t find it lol. So yeah, a hard test, but, not chopped up enough.
@@EleanorJosefina Sure but this solid thicker item says on the card when you buy it to chop it up to compost, makes sense, it’s easy to do and surface area is an obvious help to speed up degradation
this video is awesome, thanks for experimenting with this case, I've always meant to do this and never did :)). But I'm disappointed too though, to be honest.

The pela websites says it takes 6 months to a year to decompose
Then it's not compostible lmao

Hi, I know this is 100 years old now, but did you find any good compostable or decomposable alternatives?

You're back!🙋♀️
Haha yes I’m hopefully going to make more videos here and there!
@@EleanorJosefina 🆒👍
Finally the master is back 🙌 🙏 👏 😍
Haha I don’t know about that. But it’s nice to make a video again!
Great experiment and fun to watch pela probably knows there just biodegradable , well done video.
Thanks! Yes I’m sure they know! Thanks for your comment.

Probably, but other things that are "compostable" don't need to be chopped up like mailers and compostable drink ware.

Maybe because the company is a scam deliberately adding unscientific things for you to do so you'd believe it's compostible?

You’re welcome!! And yes, it was disappointing….
Exactly, this thing is a gimmick!

Great video!!
Hey!
Nice ur back on YT!
Lovely to see you in my sub feed again Eleanor! Super smart video idea! Hope all is well with you!
Thanks Zach! I’m hoping to make more videos again!
@@EleanorJosefina Same for me too! Look forward to them!
very cool
Cool video! I wonder about the case, are the buttons easy to press?
They're very easy to press on my Samsung case.
@@ashleykbarks thank you! I bought one! It’s very nice :))
Hey beautiful, when are you coming back to us?
Do an update on your current ad sense revenue
😍😍
So, let me get this straight; You got a PLASTIC bin for your COMPOST?!?
*eyeroll*
Whatever happenned to just nailing some spare wood together?
Good question. I got my compost bin as a christmas gift from my husband, I had no choice in the material or what it looked like.
Video should be compostable
