Welcome to TERA, where small choices create meaningful change.
TERA was created with a simple idea: everyday tech accessories should protect both your phone and the planet. We design thoughtfully made phone cases using plant-based materials that reduce reliance on conventional plastics while maintaining durability, comfort, and style.
Our mission is to make sustainability accessible through products people use every day.
Thoughtfully Designed Materials
TERA phone cases are made from carefully selected wheat straw fibers and certified compostable biopolymers (PLA/PBAT blend). By combining agricultural by-products with plant-based polymers, we transform natural waste into durable protection with a lower environmental footprint.
This approach allows us to:
Reduce dependence on petroleum-based plastics
Support responsible material innovation
Create lightweight and long-lasting cases
Encourage cleaner product lifecycles
Every case is designed with both performance and sustainability in mind.
Certified Compostable Standards
Our materials align with recognized international compostability standards, including:
TÜV Austria OK Compost Industrial certification
These standards confirm that our case materials are suitable for industrial composting environments and help support responsible disposal systems.
Packaging with Purpose
Sustainability extends beyond the product itself. TERA packaging is made using 100% recycled and compostable paper to minimize environmental impact.
Each order also includes a seed packet, encouraging customers to grow plants and take part in small actions that contribute to a greener future.
Giving Back to the Planet
At TERA, impact goes beyond materials and packaging.
25% of our profits support plant-growing initiatives, helping restore green spaces and promote environmental awareness. Every purchase contributes to something larger than the product itself.
Small Cases. Big Changes.
We believe sustainability starts with everyday decisions. By choosing better materials, responsible packaging, and meaningful environmental contributions, TERA aims to make eco-friendly choices simple, practical, and impactful.
TERA was founded by Aanya Mansani and Ashna Mutyala, two young changemakers who believe that small innovations can lead to meaningful environmental impact.
Motivated by a shared concern about plastic waste and its effects on the planet, they set out to create a product that people use every day—but in a way that supports a more sustainable future. What began as an idea quickly grew into a mission: to design phone cases that combine functionality, thoughtful materials, and environmental responsibility.
Through research into plant-based alternatives and compostable materials, Aanya and Ashna worked to develop cases made using wheat straw fibers and certified compostable biopolymers. Their goal was simple yet powerful—to make sustainability practical, accessible, and part of everyday life.
A Vision for Change
As student founders, Aanya and Ashna believe young people can play an important role in shaping a greener future. With TERA, they hope to inspire others to make conscious choices and recognize that even small actions—like choosing better materials—can create lasting change.
Their commitment extends beyond the product itself. By including seed packets in every order and contributing 25% of profits toward plant-growing initiatives, they aim to connect each purchase with a real environmental impact.
Building TERA Together
TERA reflects their shared vision of combining innovation, responsibility, and purpose. Through thoughtful design and continuous learning, Aanya and Ashna are working to grow TERA into a brand that encourages sustainable habits and supports a cleaner, more mindful future.
Small cases. Big changes.
