Linseed / Flax

05 Mar 2024

At agood company, we are passionate about creating sustainable products that promote conscious consumerism. We believe that we can make a positive impact on the world by reducing waste and choosing eco-conscious materials. That's why we are proud to offer linseed mobile cases as a durable and sustainable option for protecting your phone. By using renewable resources and reducing our carbon footprint, we are working towards a future where mindless consumption is replaced by conscious consumerism.

Let’s take a closer look at the materials used to make our linseed mobile cases and the benefits of choosing an eco-conscious option for your phone protection.

What Is Linseed / Flax?

Linseed, also known as flaxseed, is a food and fibre crop that has been cultivated for thousands of years. It grows in cooler regions of the world, including Europe, North America, and Asia. The plant is harvested for its seeds, which are commonly used as a health food due to their high nutritional content. Linseed is also a valuable source of fibre, which can be used to make textiles, paper, and other products.

We use waste linseed plants to make our climate-positive mobile cases. These plants are grown by an ecologically certified farmer near our basecamp in Sweden. This means that we are able to use a renewable resource that would otherwise go to waste. By using linseed in our products, we are able to reduce our carbon footprint and promote sustainable practices.

Why Do We Like Linseed?

There are several reasons why we are proud to offer linseed mobile cases as a sustainable option.

  • First and foremost, our mobile cases are produced in Sweden using locally sourced flax/linseed. We are committed to supporting our local community and reducing our carbon footprint by using materials that are grown nearby.
  • Our linseed mobile cases are made from 100% plant-based material. This means that they are not only durable and long-lasting, but also climate-friendly. By using natural materials, we can help reduce waste and promote sustainable practices.
  • Another benefit of linseed is that it can be pressed to make linseed oil. This oil works great as a wood impregnator, making it a versatile material for a wide range of applications. By using linseed in multiple ways, we can reduce waste and make the most of this valuable resource.

At agood company, we are committed to reducing waste, that's why we use process waste from linseed plants to produce the material for our mobile cases. By using this waste material, we are able to reduce our carbon footprint in the environment.

    Applications of Linseed

    Linseed, also known as flaxseed, is a versatile plant that has many different applications. Here are some of the most common uses of linseed:

    • Food: Linseed is commonly used as a health food due to its high nutritional content. It is a rich source of omega-3 fatty acids, fiber, and other essential nutrients. Linseed can be eaten raw, roasted, or ground into a fine powder and used as an ingredient in a variety of recipes.
    • Textiles: Linseed is a valuable source of fiber, which can be used to make textiles such as linen. Linen is a lightweight and breathable fabric that is popular in clothing and home goods such as bedding and tablecloths.
    • Paper: Linseed fiber can also be used to make paper. Linen paper is known for its durability and high quality.
    • Fuel: Linseed oil can be used as a biofuel. It is a renewable resource that can be used in place of fossil fuels, reducing our reliance on non-renewable energy sources.
    • Industrial uses: Linseed oil is also used in a variety of industrial applications, such as in the production of paints, varnishes, and other coatings. It is valued for its drying properties and ability to provide a protective finish.

    Our Phone Case Manufacturing Process Includes:

    We don't just talk the talk – we walk the walk (in eco-conscious shoes, of course). When it comes to the manufacturing of our linseed mobile cases, we take the impact that we have on mother earth very seriously. Here are a few of the things we do to make our products as quirky as can be:

    • No plastic here. We prefer our cases like we prefer our drinks – without any pesky synthetic materials. That means less waste and less harm to the planet.
    • We're big fans of composting. That's why our linseed mobile cases are 100% compostable. You can toss them in your garden and watch them break down naturally. It's like magic, only more sustainable.
    • We're all about organic farming. That's why we use locally sourced flax/linseed that's grown without any pesticides, inorganic fertilizers, or other nasties. It's good for the earth and good for you.
    • We also hate wasting water. That's why we take care to avoid any water waste during the manufacturing process. Because let's face it, every drop counts.

    Overall, we're pretty proud of our innovative practices. And we're not just saying that – we have our plant-based mobile cases to prove it.

    Benefits of Using Linseed Mobile Cases:

    At agood company, we believe that sustainability is all about circularity and circular economy. That means finding ways to use resources in a way that keeps them in the economy for as long as possible. And that's where our linseed mobile cases come in.

    First of all, let's talk about the obvious benefits.

    Our cases are lightweight, slim, and stylish.

    This means you can protect your phone without sacrificing your fashion sense. Plus, they're strong and durable, which means they can handle whatever life throws your way (including those inevitable drops and scratches).

    Because we are using process waste from linseed plants to make our cases, we're able to close the loop and keep those resources in the economy.

    But that's not all. Our linseed mobile cases are also 100% compostable, which means they'll naturally decompose without harming the environment. And because we're committed to circularity, we have a program called agood loop that lets you swap your mobile case for a new one - at any time and for any reason.

    agood loop is a circular system that allows you to send your old case back to us for recycling. We'll make sure it gets broken down and reused in a way that keeps it in the economy for as long as possible.

    Conclusion

    In conclusion, at agood company, we take pride in using eco-conscious and innovative practices in the production of our linseed mobile cases. We believe that protecting the environment and creating high-quality products can go hand in hand.
