Conclusion
Fairphone is being pitched as an ethical alternative to the popular smartphone brands. The company uses a more reliable and sustainable approach while making its smartphones.
The first-generation Fairphone was unveiled in September 2013. Now, the company is offering bugger upgrades over its previous models.
The Fairphone 3+ is made of 40 percent post-consumer recycled plastics (up from the nine percent recycled materials on the Fairphone 3).
“Our make-use-dispose attitude has a negative effect on every step of the supply chain, from working conditions in the mines to wages in factories, not to mention the strain on natural resources,” Fairphone CEO Eva Gouwens said in a blog post.
