"Fairphone, how do you make tech sustainable?”

We get asked this a lot when we tell people what Fairphone is all about. The answer isn’t a short one, though. Because there are a LOT of things we do at Fairphone to make sure our products are fairer to people and the planet.

We use fair and recycled materials in our devices, investing in mineral credits where needed to improve the lives and working conditions of miners. Did you know the Fairphone (Gen. 6) contains more than 50% fair and recycled materials by total weight?
We pay living wage bonuses to factory workers who assemble our phones and audio products to help earn a living wage. Since 2019, we have paid out close to USD$1.25M in living wage bonuses.
We make sure our products are built to last with award-winning modularity and industry-leading support periods. Every Fairphone since the Fairphone 2 has scored a perfect 10 out of 10 on iFixit’s repairability tests.
We make sure all our latest products are 100% e-waste neutral to make sure we are not adding to the global e-waste problem. Last year alone, we collected 30 tons of electronic waste for responsible recycling.

We do all of this to also show others in the electronics industry that there is a better way, a fairer way. It isn’t easy, but it isn’t impossible. Fairphone’s the proof. Read more about our sustainability efforts in our latest Impact Report, now available on our website https://tr.ee/dJdmzX

We’re Fairphone, from Amsterdam. We design quality tech that’s built to last and made better—for everyone who wants tech to fuel life, not interrupt it.

For over a decade, we’ve done what others said couldn’t be done. Modular phones. Built to last. Made fair from the inside out. Longer lifecycles, smarter upgrades, and real progress with every new generation. What sets Fairphone apart? It’s not just our values. It’s how those values show up — in the product itself.

At Fairphone, innovation doesn't mean adding more — it means adding intention. It means asking: what do people really need? And how do we design for that — while still thinking about the makers of our devices and the planet itself? Innovation doesn’t start on the surface. It starts at the source — in how a phone is made, who it empowers, and how long it lasts.

Go beyond the screen and uncover the hidden stories in the tech you hold. On our YouTube channel, you’ll find Fairphone how-to’s, tutorials, and behind-the-scenes videos that bring it all to life.
