♻️ How to Recycle a Snakehive CaseUpdated 2 minutes ago
At Snakehive, we’re passionate about crafting quality products that last—but we also care about what happens at the end of their life. If you have a Snakehive case that’s no longer needed, here are a few eco-friendly options:
✅ 1. Reuse or Regift
If the case is still in good condition, consider passing it on to a friend or donating it to a local charity shop or reuse center.
♻️ 2. Recycling the Materials
Snakehive cases are made from a combination of genuine leather and silicone or TPU (thermoplastic polyurethane):
Leather: Most local recycling centers don't accept leather for standard recycling, but it can sometimes be composted or repurposed in leather workshops or upcycling projects.
Silicone/TPU: These components are not biodegradable, but some specialist recycling facilities accept them. Contact your local recycling center to check if they can process mixed-material phone cases.
💡 3. Creative Upcycling
Some customers turn their old cases into coin holders, travel pouches, or even cable organizers. It’s a great way to reduce waste and give your case a second life.
🚫 What Not to Do
Avoid putting your case in general household recycling bins unless your council specifically accepts silicone or leather products.
