Everything you need to know about Mobile Sustainability

Mobile Sustainability: Now that the mobile phone has become a permanent extension in most of our lives, it is important to bring awareness and spread the concept and practice of sustainability in the world of technology as well. 

Enter Fairphone, the world’s first ethical smartphone.

It is common knowledge that the average consumer replaces their phone every 18 months. Fairphone, however, is a modular device which allows consumers to replace individual components, instead of going out and purchasing yet another new mobile phone.

Additionally, their team took into account the materials used for phone production of other companies along with both positive and negative environmental, social and humanitarian consequences.

With this research, they produce smartphones that not only reduce environmental impact, they also encourage and promote fair labour, and provide employment opportunities for surrounding communities.
