New Manual Entry: "Sustainable Smartphone" (Öffnet in neuem Fenster)
We produce an estimated 50 million metric tons of e-waste annually, where 10% of that is related to smartphones.
This can't go on! → We agree!
That's why we have put together a list of things you can do to make the smartphone market more sustainable:
📱Do you know that you can buy used and refurbished phones from @swappiecom (Öffnet in neuem Fenster) or @backmarket (Öffnet in neuem Fenster)?
📱2nd hand mobile phones are not for you? Check out @Fairphone (Öffnet in neuem Fenster), @myteracube (Öffnet in neuem Fenster) or @shiftphones (Öffnet in neuem Fenster) - here; you can get brand new phones made from recycled and sustainably sourced raw materials.
📱Or do you still want to repair the old thing?
@ifixit (Öffnet in neuem Fenster) is for sure has a suitable tutorial for you.
📱And what about equipment?
@pelacase (Öffnet in neuem Fenster) offers plastic-free monitor protectors, and @oceanmata (Öffnet in neuem Fenster) frees the oceans from plastic and makes mobile phone covers out of it.
You can find these and many more tips in our latest manual entry on Sustainable Smartphone (Öffnet in neuem Fenster).
