2072 Proporta Smart cases are handcrafted from sustainable materials and come with a bamboo packaging plate that doubles as a screen protector. The cases are made from materials like sustainable bamboo, recycled leather and hessian.

Bamboo is one of the world's mpst sustainable construction materials - natural and while it grows, it actually removes carbon from the atmosphere. and locks it away. It also releases up to three times more oxygen than most other plants and is claimed to be almost 20% stronger than steel by weight.

Wherever possible, carbon neutral shipping is used to save energy.

Proporta's co-founder Guy Monson says: "In early 2008, we decided that we wanted to do more than simply pay money to offset carbon emissions and rename products 'green'. Ever since then we've been conducting extensive research on how we can run our business in a more sustainable manner – looking at every aspect, from the drawing board to the manufacturing and supply chain. Proporta Smart is the culmination of this and we hope we shall be able to adapt some of the best features from the range into the rest of our products.

"We're very aware that Proporta Smart is Proporta's first step in the direction of sustainably produced products, and we know we have a long way to go until we are truly 100% green. But, we're really excited about the opportunities Proporta Smart has already given us in terms of improving products and reducing our environmental footprint."

The Proporta Smart Recycled Leather Case with bamboo screen protection is available for the iPad, iPhone 3G/3GS, iPod touch (2G), iPod nano (5G) and iPod classic as well as the Blackberry Bold 2 and HTC Desire.
