During CES 2017, another one of those companies that occupied a small booth out on the edges of the CES show floor was Reveal and I happened upon them during my meandering when their booth caught my eye.

The Founder and CEO, Terry Omata, told me that the company is focused on designing products so that they are using sustainable resources to minimize the impact of our tech accessories on the planet.

The unique aspect of this companies business is to sell, as they describe it, Earth friendly tech accessories and they work with that sustainability approach for their products in these areas:

  • Bamboo - Bamboo is the fastest growing, sustainable, woody plant in the world.

  • Cork - Durable and renewable, cork is harvested without damage to the tree.

  • Project Replant - For every Nature Tech item sold we plant a tree.

  • Recycled Fabrics - Our recycled satin, suede, and polyester are made from post-consumer plastic bottles.

  • Vegan Leather - Our products are 100% cruelty-free, no animal by-products are used.

  • Project Wildlife - The International Fund for Animal Welfare saves animals and their habitats.

The products themselves focus on cases/covers for iPhone 5/5s, 6+, 6/6s, SE, 7/7+; the iPad Pro, Air and Mini; and the Galaxy S6/S6 Edge/S7.

They also carry audio devices such as headphones, solar powered Bluetooth speakers, and foldable Bluetooth keyboards and bags made of recycled fabrics.

You can see many of those products and more in the gallery images included here.

Although the concept behind this companies approach to the environment may not be new to everyone, it certainly was to me, especially the idea of planting a tree for each product sold. I know many people who would appreciate that extra touch in a gift.

Senior Content Producer, IT Pro Today (Informa Tech)

I served for 29 plus years in the U.S. Navy and retired as a Master Chief Petty Officer in November 2011. My work background in the Navy was telecommunications related so my hobby of computers fit well with what I did for the Navy. I consider myself a tech geek and enjoy most things in that arena.

My first website – AnotherWin95.com – came online in 1995. Back then I used GeoCities Web Hosting for it and WindowsObserver.com is the result of the work I have done on that site since 1995.

In January 2010 my community contributions were recognized by Microsoft when I received my first Most Valuable Professional (MVP) Award for the Windows Operating System. Since then I have been renewed as a Microsoft MVP each subsequent year since that initial award. I am also a member of the inaugural group of Windows Insider MVPs which began in 2016.

I previously hosted the Observed Tech PODCAST for 10 years and 317 episodes and now host a new podcast called Faith, Tech, and Space. 

I began contributing to Penton Technology websites in January 2015 and in April 2017 I was hired as the Senior Content Producer for Penton Technology which is now Informa Tech. In that role, I contribute to ITPro Today and cover operating systems, enterprise technology, and productivity.
