Designs inspired by nature belong on products that are kinder to the environment.
RHINOSHIELD is committed to both resisting the impact of gravity (drop protection) and minimizing our products' impact on the ecosystem (sustainability initiatives). This commitment is reflected in our: 100% circular, mono-material design phone cases; recycled material phone grips; and AquaStand magnetic water bottles designed to reduce single-use container consumption. Here, we've curated a selection of our top nature-inspired designs.
You've undoubtedly seen (or heard of) Discovery Channel, taking viewers on journeys through space, into the wilderness, to the depths of the ocean, and unraveling the mysteries of technology. This Discovery collaboration captures the stunning textures of our planet: from mountains and tides to lava and glaciers.
These iconic, blue, three-apple-tall cartoon characters are also UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and EU Beach Cleanup partners. RHINOSHIELD supports The Smurfs' mission through our plastic management solution, CircularBlue™ marine waste filtration platform, and the use of recycled ocean plastics, all to protect our shared blue planet.
This summer, celebrate the beauty of the ocean with The Smurfs! Pair your adventures with a RHINOSHIELD Clear or JellyTint transparent phone case, designed to resist yellowing from sun exposure. At the end of its life, it can be recycled to prevent it from ending up in the ocean and repurposed into an AquaStand magnetic water bottle carrier.
RHINOSHIELD collaborates with a diverse range of creators, including nature enthusiasts. French photographer Alexis Rateau captures the captivating beauty of eagle owls, black kites, and leopards through his lens. Entomologist and illustrator chentomology creates intricate sticker packs and backgrounds featuring beetles, mantises, and rainforest flora and fauna, available for customization on our Design Your Own platform.
RHINOSHIELD also partners with organizations like the Kuroshio Ocean Education Foundation, dedicated to marine conservation, and the Chi Po-lin Foundation, which uses aerial photography to document environmental change. We believe design can carry deeper meaning, transforming phone cases into platforms for ecological advocacy and habitat preservation, fostering coexistence with all life on this planet.
CircularNext, RHINOSHIELD's 2024 flagship circular product, was created with a zero-waste goal, adhering to a mono-material design and made entirely from recycled SolidSuit cases and post-industrial recycled material. In line with our commitment to nature, this year's CircularNext features designs inspired by mountain landscapes, marine ecosystems, and wildlife conservation, allowing nature lovers to express their values in everyday life.
