ZAGG Brands Teams with Eden Reforestation Projects to Combat Global Climate Change
22 April 2021 - 10:00PM
ZAGG Brands, a leading global mobile lifestyle company, today
announced a partnership with Eden Reforestation Projects, one of
the most prolific tree planting organizations that has planted more
than 485 million trees since 2005. To support these efforts
globally during 2021, ZAGG Brands will donate funds to Eden
Reforestation Projects with every Gear4 protective case sold. To

The partnership highlights the damaging effects of large-scale
deforestation for agricultural croplands, urbanization, and mining
activities, to name a few. Deforestation negatively affects natural
ecosystems, biodiversity, and the climate and leads to flooding,
erosion, and desertification. Regions that are most impacted by
deforestation are often highly poverty-stricken where impoverished
communities are forced to destroy their local environment to
survive. Through their “Employ to Plant” methodology, over 26,000
people have been employed to plant an average of 20 million trees
every month. As a result of consistent employment, employees are
now more able to send their children to school, and better afford
food, clothing, and medical care. Further, sustainable farming and
fishing can return because of the restored environment1.
“To have healthy communities, we need clean air, natural
resources, and a safe environment,” said Chris Ahern, ZAGG Brands
CEO. “We take this to heart at ZAGG Brands and have significantly
reduced single-use plastics in our manufacturing process. And we
are reducing our environmental footprint by transitioning to
include fully recyclable packaging to reduce waste going to
landfills. We understand the need to do good and are honored to
support Eden Reforestation Projects to help improve the
environment.”
The Gear4 Copenhagen case is constructed with D3O® Bio, a 52%
renewable plant-based material2 with no compromise on impact
protection3. D3O® Bio saves on fossil-based resources, reduces
water consumption, and allows for sustainable waste management4.
The Copenhagen case is also available at Verizon.com or Verizon
stores.
“Eden Reforestation Projects reduce extreme poverty and restore
healthy forests by employing local villagers to plant millions of
trees each year,” said Stephen Fitch, founder and CEO of Eden
Reforestation Projects. “We’re grateful to ZAGG Brands and Verizon,
and all of our partners, for supporting this vision and helping
lead the way in restoring land and lives.”
