There are more mobile phones on the planet than people. You’re probably scrolling on your phone right now… But have you ever wondered what went into making it? With this documentary, we want to pull back the curtain and really show you what it takes to create a smartphone. You will not look at your phone the same way after watching. Here’s the good news, though: Together, we have the power to change this industry, one phone at a time. And it all starts with awareness. Curious about our impact on improving working conditions, circularity and modular design? Find out why it matters how your phone is made below.
Everything that’s inside a smartphone has an impact on people and planet. We go straight to the source to make sure we’re creating positive change. One material at a time, we’re working to incorporate fairer, recycled, and responsibly mined materials in our phones.
We believe that everyone working in the electronics industry should have a decent life, a sufficient income, a safe workplace and the opportunity to be heard. Our worker driven impact programs, like our living wage bonus, translate to real-time improvements for many workers in our supply chain.
“Make, use, dispose, repeat” might work for the electronics industry, but (really) doesn’t work for the planet! So we went all in and designed smartphones to break this cycle. Our goal is simple: Support your Fairphone to last as long as possible. The longer you hold onto your phone, the smaller its environmental footprint.
We want to make the most of the materials used in consumer electronics. We’re moving one step closer to a circular economy by encouraging the reuse and repair of our phones, researching electronics recycling options and reducing electronic waste worldwide.
Our most sustaibable phone yet: The Fairphone 4
How we build a fairer world
WaterBear is the first interactive streaming platform dedicated to the future of our planet. As such, it’s an amazing place to discover impactful stories about organizations and initiatives on a mission to save our planet. We joined forces for this original short film, because we hope that it will inspire you to rethink the value of your phone – not in pounds, euros or dollars – but in human and environmental costs. We want to open up this black box that is your phone and really start a conversation about what’s right, what’s normal and what’s possible.
