Fairphone

Fairphone is a Dutch company based in Amsterdam that designs smartphones around repairability and supply-chain transparency. Its phones are modular: battery, camera, screen and other parts can be replaced with a screwdriver, which extends the life of the device instead of replacing it whole.

The company publishes how its materials are sourced and works on fair mining and factory conditions, and its software support runs for years beyond the market average – an approach it presents as a different model for consumer electronics rather than a niche product.
