Heidi Wachter has been writing about the health and environmental impacts of plastic for years. Our team also tests top products and shares our first-hand experiences with using these cases in the real world.
To make this list, we dug deep into materials and manufacturers to find the most eco-friendly phone cases on the market. No matter what case you choose, your phone itself has a much bigger environmental impact, so consider taking steps to help extend its lifetime. Natural materials like wood and cork are typically more easily composted at home, just be sure the case doesn’t have some kind of coating or paint, and that any rubber or plastic pieces are removed. When possible, avoid new plastic or silicone and instead look for cases made from wood, recycled materials, or bioplastics.īioplastics aren’t a perfect solution-when it’s time for a new phone, most bioplastic cases will require an industrial composting facility to break them down. If you want a more eco-friendly alternative to the typical plastic case, the main consideration is material. Protect your phone while helping the planet.

Though sold out at the factory, recent barely used examples are still available. Built to commemorate Triumph’s involvement as engine supplier in the Moto2 world championship, the Daytona Moto2 765 Limited Edition is the ultimate middleweight sports machine.īased on the already brilliant 675 it has an uprated 765cc engine (similar to that in the latest Street Triple), carbon-fibre fairing, single seat unit, front mudguard and hugger, a machined and individually numbered top yoke plaque, a special TFT colour dash, new switchgear, electronic rider aids, titanium Arrow end can and more. For 2020, however, it’s won a (very) brief respite. That sadly all ended a couple of years ago when it was dropped from the range. The Hinckley-built triple was not only quick and fine-handling enough to match the very best from Japan (winning TTs and British Supersport championships along the way to prove it), it also had a distinctive three-cylinder character all its own and which actually made it a better, more lithe and flexible road bike than its four-cylinder rivals. for one moment and focus on the Norton’s he was supposed to be building. OK, OK - we’re know what you’re thinking but let’s just forget out Stuart Garner et al. But if you want a more affordable alternative to the full-on superbike experience - and can still find one of the limited number that can be found in the UK - this is the one… 7.

Supersport 600s always used to be the more affordable, practical stepping stone to full-on, 1000cc superbikes, defined by their sophisticated, sharp handling chassis and screaming, rev hungry four-cylinder powerplants – and the same is still true today. Formerly limited by its tiny, cramped ergonomics, the latest generation is far less compromising, yet remains a slingshot faster than almost anything down tight and twisty B-roads. The modifications are less extensive under the skin, meaning a punchy 44bhp 375cc single can still be found in held in a dinky, slimline chassis. However, KTM hasn't entirely abandoned its racing credentials with the RC 390 (and smaller RC 125) offering learner legal thrills lower down the range.īetter still, a fresh second generation model is about to go on sale in the UK boasting tidied up looks - including colourways inspired by its MotoGP effort - and more generous kit levels. It may be doing the business in MotoGP right now but has been without a proper punchy sportsbike in its range since the demise of the quirky-turned-cult RC8 990cc V-twin superbike.
