Where these two actually differ
- We flag Heavy metals in elastomer accents and Microplastic shedding from woven fiber on the Apple and not on the Pela.
- We flag Coating degradation and durability over time and Allergic contact dermatitis from plant fiber or resin on the Pela and not on the Apple.
- The Apple is Woven textile (likely polyester/nylon blend) with elastomer accents where the Pela is Flax fiber and plant-based resin blend, compostable, which is most of the difference in these two grades.
