Circularity-Focused Phone Cases

FREITAG’s 'circular phone case' for the new iPhone 17 redefines what sustainable design can look like -- transforming discarded ski boots into a stylish, fully recyclable everyday essential. The Zurich-based brand, best known for its upcycled truck tarp bags, applies the same design ethos to tech accessories with the new 'F385 CIRC-CASE,' a modular three-part system built for flexibility and longevity.

Each case includes a recyclable protective shell, a detachable carrying cord, and a customizable card holder crafted from FREITAG’s signature truck tarps. Designed to outlive the product cycle of smartphones, the adaptable fit accommodates multiple iPhone models -- including future iterations -- and can be returned through FREITAG’s Take Back program for full circular reuse.

With FREITAG’s circular phone case, the brand reinforces its leadership in practical sustainability. By merging recycled materials, modular design, and a take-back system, FREITAG tackles one of tech’s biggest waste problems -- disposable accessories -- while proving that durability and design can coexist in a closed-loop economy.
