Working Towards a
Sustainable Future

As a global citizen, ZAGG is changing the way we think, design, produce, and package. We’re forming partnerships that help us maximize our efforts, and we’re creating solutions that benefit consumers and the planet.

Protect and Enhance

At ZAGG, it's always been our mission to protect and enhance, and that includes the world we live in. We're starting our journey towards environmental sustainability by considering environmental improvements to packaging, product materials, recycling, manufacturing, and more.

What We’ve Done So Far

Here’s a look at the action we’re taking in our four core areas of focus: Packaging, Materials, Recycling & Disposal, and Manufacturing.

Sustainable Retail
Packaging Initiative

Did you know that annually 400 million tons of plastic are produced across the globe? And did you know that roughly 50% of the plastic that we waste comes from packaging in the form of single-use plastics? At ZAGG, we felt this was an area in which we could have a big, positive impact.

Our designers went to work to create recyclable and sustainable packaging options. Gear4 case packaging is now 100% recyclable—that includes plant-based inks. In our InvisibleShield packaging, we’ve replaced plastic components, like the plastic container and hang tag, with recyclable paper counterparts. As a result of our efforts, we’ve eliminated over 1.7 million lbs. of single-use plastics annually.

Eden Project

ZAGG has partnered with Eden Reforestation Projects. For every Gear4 case sold on ZAGG.com, a tree is planted. Our efforts have resulted in over 485,000 trees being planted with Eden Project, and provided 2.7K days of employment in local communities where the trees are being planted.

D3O® Bio

34% of Gear4’s iPhone case line-up utilizes D3O® Bio, the world’s most advanced, plant-based protection material. D3O® Bio is made with 52% renewable resources, as opposed to fossil-based resources. Plant-based materials are preferable to petroleum in generating bio plastics because plants grow at a faster rate than they are used.

We’re excited about our partnership with D3O®, and more products made with D3O® Bio are in the works.

Tritan™ Renew

ZAGG has partnered with Eastman, a global specialty materials company, to offer select cases that are more sustainable with Tritan Renew which contains 50% certified recycled content. During fiscal year 2021, these efforts helped divert 60 metric tonnes of plastic waste from the ocean or landfills, the equivalent of 6.486 million water bottles, and have reduced greenhouse gas emissions by 51 metric tons compared to processes using fossil-based resources.

Recycling
  • Eco-Train partner: Used cases are ground up and the material is reused
  • Gear4 cases use recycled material
InvisibleShield On Demand (ISOD)
  • The in-store ISOD machines custom cut screen protection for customers as they wait.
  • ISOD reduces the need for packaging materials by over 96%
  • ISOD reduces our shipping footprint by 95%
Corporate Initiatives
  • Corporate locations have installed solar panels, recycling drop-offs, electric car charging stations and other sustainable initiatives
  • Corporate locations participate in device recycling program
  • ZAGG has significantly reduced air freight in favor of ocean freight
"Becoming more sustainable doesn’t mean compromising on quality. As part of our commitment to protecting and enhancing the devices that connect you to your world, we’ve sought out sustainable solutions, like D3O® Bio and plastic-free packaging, that actually improve your experience and benefit the planet."

Committed to the Journey

Sustainability is a journey. When we started out, we already felt a sense of urgency, like when you start a road trip and think, ‘if only we’d gotten up earlier, we’d be a couple of hours ahead.’

Even though we’ve just begun, we’re focused on the future and finding new solutions that will reduce our carbon impact and increase environmentally-friendly practices for our products, people, supply chains, and in our manufacturing.
