Plastic Phone Case Crack/Break Repair

Introduzione

If your phone case has any cracks from wear and tear or is completely broken into an unusable condition, use this guide to repair it.

Rather than throwing it away and contributing to plastic waste, fixing phone cases can help keep landfills clean of toxic microplastics. Aside from providing a more economic solution, this repair guide also allows for the repair and reuse of damaged phone cases that would otherwise be discarded into the environment.
