Summary

Inside The Fairphone (Gen. 6) For over a decade, we’ve been redefining what great tech looks like—devices that are built to last and made with care for people and the planet. With the new Fairphone, we're pushing innovation that matters, where it matters most. Built to Last Designed for longevity with modular, repairable hardware and long-term software support—because the longer your phone lasts, the smaller its footprint. 100% Electronic Waste Neutral For every phone we sell, we take one back. That means less e-waste and more circular use through reuse, repair, and recycling. More than 50% Fair or Recycled Materials Now made with more fair or recycled materials than ever. Recycled materials include: Aluminum, Copper, Steel, Tin, Indium, Magnesium, Nickel, Plastics, Rare earths, Zinc. Fair materials include: Fairtrade gold, Fairmined silver (via credit), cobalt (via credits) & tungsten Made in Fair Factories Final assembly happens in a factory that supports living wages, prioritises worker wellbeing, and works to reduce environmental impact. Powered by Green Energy Manufacturing uses renewable energy, supporting our climate goals and lowering emissions at the source. Climate Conscious by Design Being climate conscious means building a phone that lasts, reducing carbon emissions, and giving back to the planet. Working with Suppliers We team up with our suppliers to cut carbon at the source—setting climate targets and using recycled materials like aluminum, magnesium, rare earths, tin, nickel, zinc, copper, plastics, and indium. Investing in the Planet We offset the remaining emissions of the Fairphone 6 by supporting Gold Standard climate projects reducing CO₂ and helping local communities thrive. Fairtrade Gold We’re the first and only smartphone company to integrate Fairtrade gold into our supply chain. Fairtrade Gold
