At MAM, we believe that sustainability doesn't end when you're done with your phone case. That's why we've developed one of the most innovative upcycling programs in the tech accessory industry—transforming your old phone cases into essential water bottles that serve communities worldwide.

The Journey Beyond Protection

When you upgrade your phone or simply want a fresh design, your MAM case doesn't need to end up in a landfill. Through our trade-in program, we've created a circular economy that gives your case a meaningful second life. What once protected your phone now helps provide clean drinking water access to people around the globe.

How Our Trade-In Program Works

The process is simple but the impact is profound. When you're ready to replace your MAM case, simply send it back to us through our prepaid shipping program. We handle all the logistics—you just need to package your old case and drop it off at any participating shipping location.

Once your case reaches our processing facility, it begins its transformation journey. Our sustainable plastic materials, which were engineered for durability and protection, possess the perfect properties for upcycling into high-quality water bottles.

The Science of Transformation

The same sustainable plastic that made your case environmentally responsible also makes it ideal for upcycling. Our materials maintain their structural integrity through the recycling process, ensuring that the resulting water bottles meet all safety and durability standards for food-grade containers.

The sublimation inks that created those vibrant designs on your case are completely removed during our specialized cleaning process, leaving behind pure, clean plastic ready for transformation. Even the silicone interior layer is separated and processed separately, with different components going to different upcycling streams.

Our processing facility uses advanced sorting and cleaning technology to break down each case into its component materials. The outer plastic shell undergoes a multi-stage cleaning and preparation process before being melted down and reformed into water bottle blanks.

Global Impact, One Case at a Time

The water bottles created from your traded-in cases aren't just sold commercially—they're distributed through our global partnership network to communities that need reliable access to clean water storage. From remote villages in developing countries to disaster relief efforts, your old phone case continues its protective mission in a completely new form.

We work with established international aid organizations, clean water initiatives, and community development programs to ensure these upcycled water bottles reach the people who need them most. Each bottle can hold up to 750ml of water and is designed for long-term use in challenging environments.

The durability that made our phone cases exceptional at protection translates perfectly to water bottle applications. These bottles can withstand temperature extremes, resist cracking under pressure, and maintain their integrity through thousands of uses.

Closing the Loop on Sustainability

Our trade-in program represents the true meaning of circular economy principles. Rather than creating products that eventually become waste, we've designed a system where your MAM case continues contributing to human wellbeing long after its original purpose is complete.

When you participate in our trade-in program, you receive credits toward your next MAM purchase while knowing that your old case is making a tangible difference in someone's daily life. It's sustainability with purpose, environmental responsibility with human impact.

Beyond Individual Impact

The scale of transformation is remarkable. Every 100 traded-in phone cases provides approximately 85 water bottles to communities worldwide. Since launching the program, we've processed thousands of cases, creating clean water storage solutions that serve families, schools, and emergency response teams across six continents.

But the impact goes beyond just the bottles themselves. By keeping these materials in productive use rather than allowing them to become waste, we're reducing the demand for virgin plastic production. Every case that enters our upcycling stream represents resources that don't need to be extracted from the earth.

Innovation That Matters

This trade-in program exemplifies our commitment to innovation that serves both people and planet. We didn't just want to create beautiful, protective phone cases—we wanted to pioneer a new model for how tech accessories can contribute to global sustainability and human welfare.

The engineering that went into developing this upcycling process was extensive. We had to ensure that our original case materials would be suitable for food-grade applications, that our cleaning processes would meet international safety standards, and that the resulting products would be durable enough for the demanding environments where they'd be used.

Join the Transformation

Every MAM case you purchase comes with the promise of continued impact through our trade-in program. When you're ready for a new design or phone upgrade, your case doesn't end—it transforms into a tool for clean water access in communities that need it most.

We provide all the shipping materials and cover all processing costs. You simply pack up your old case and send it on its way to becoming someone's reliable water bottle. It's sustainability made simple, with impact that extends far beyond your personal device protection.

Looking Forward

As we continue expanding our trade-in program, we're exploring partnerships with even more global organizations and investigating additional upcycling applications for our sustainable materials. Your participation in this program isn't just about disposing of an old case responsibly—it's about being part of a movement that reimagines how consumer products can serve humanity throughout their entire lifecycle.

At MAM, we believe that true innovation means thinking beyond the first use. Your phone case protects what matters to you, and through our trade-in program, it continues protecting what matters to communities worldwide—access to clean, safe drinking water.
