New Manual Entry: "Sustainable Smartphone" (Opens in a new window)
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 (Opens in a new window) or @backmarket (Opens in a new window)?
📱2nd hand mobile phones are not for you? Check out @Fairphone (Opens in a new window), @myteracube (Opens in a new window) or @shiftphones (Opens in a new window) - 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 (Opens in a new window) is for sure has a suitable tutorial for you.
📱And what about equipment?
@pelacase (Opens in a new window) offers plastic-free monitor protectors, and @oceanmata (Opens in a new window) 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 (Opens in a new window).
