This year, British Science Week 2025 is celebrating 'Change and Adapt,' highlighting how innovation shapes our future—including how we can make more sustainable choices in our everyday lives.
Embracing Change Through Science
Change is everywhere. From the way cities expand to how nature adjusts to new environments; progress is fuelled by science. British Science Week 2025 is celebrating "Change and Adapt," focusing on how innovation shapes our world.
At Tech21, science isn’t just something we respect—it drives everything we do. From advanced impact protection to the development of more sustainable materials, we’re always improving to protect both your tech and the planet.
So, how does science influence our innovations? Let’s take a closer look at how we combine protection and sustainability in our products.
Smarter Protection: The Evolution of Impact Protection
Bulky, plastic-heavy phone cases are a thing of the past. Advances in material science have allowed Tech21 to redefine protection—without unnecessary bulk or environmental harm.
FlexShock: The Science of Drop Protection
One of our biggest innovations is FlexShock, a high-performance material that absorbs and disperses impact energy. Inspired by non-Newtonian fluids—like cornstarch mixed with water—FlexShock stays flexible during normal use but hardens upon impact, offering up to 32.8ft (10m) of multi-drop protection.
From Conventional Plastics to Biodegradable Materials
As expectations around sustainability shift, we continue to evolve. Enter Bio-Spice, a breakthrough ingredient that allows us to create cases using biodegradable materials.
How does it work? Bio-Spice technology helps our cases break down naturally over time, ensuring they don’t linger in landfills—unlike traditional plastics, which can persist for centuries. Every case contains biodegradable materials, leveraging Bio-Spice technology to allow microorganisms in landfills to break them down into natural elements.
STEM in Action: How Science Shapes Our Products
Innovation at Tech21 doesn’t stop at materials. Every product undergoes rigorous testing in our in-house science lab to ensure durability and sustainability.
Our testing includes:
-
Multi-drop tests to simulate real-life accidents
-
UV resistance tests to prevent yellowing and discoloration
-
Scratch tests to ensure longevity
By combining science-led engineering with material research, we continue pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in sustainable tech protection.
Sustainable Living and Tech: How We Can Adapt for a Greener Future
Adapting to change is essential—not just for companies like Tech21, but for everyone. Choosing biodegradable materials, reducing single-use plastics, and supporting brands committed to sustainability are small steps that make a big impact.
As British Science Week 2025 highlights the power of change, we want to hear from you. How are you making sustainable choices in your daily life? Share your thoughts using #BSW25.
At Tech21, we’ll keep innovating, adapting, and leading the way in sustainable impact protection. Science isn’t just about learning—it’s about shaping a better, smarter, and greener future for all.
