Fairphone, a mobile manufacturer brand, seems to want to care about the environment, creating a 'sustainable, ethical and reliable' phone that becomes an ecological alternative to the conventional mobile, a device that leaves behind a tremendous ecological footprint. The brand is Fairphone and, starting next week, we will be able to buy the latest model of its 'ecological phone' through the operator Vodafone. His name, Fairphone 3.
Fairphone 3, a new model of ethical and ecological mobile
The Fairphone 3's commitment to the environment is made through these gestures:
- Its construction is based on 40% recycled plastic
- The copper used is also recycled
- It adds in its assembly materials such as gold, which come from fair trade, as well as tungsten and tin without links to conflict zones (that is, the benefits resulting from the exploitation of the mineral are not invested in financing armed conflicts)
- Offer your workers good working conditions
Likewise, the brand tries to educate the user who acquires its terminal so that, in case of breakdown, it tries to repair it instead of buying another, offering recycling options.
Vodafone, with this Fairphone mobile distribution alliance in Spain, wants to change its policy in 2020 and follow a more conscientious and ecological line. Among its purposes is to ' halve the carbon footprint and buy all electricity from renewable sources by 2025 ' in addition to ' reuse, resell or recycle 100% of its network waste and help customers can extend the life of the devices they already own . '

It is obvious: ecological is in fashion. And I hope it lasts, because becoming aware of the environment and caring for the planet we live on should be a matter of attitude. At this time and until tomorrow, the celebration, in Madrid, of the Climate Summit is also taking place, in which the different countries deal with this very serious issue. Of course, climate change is the protagonist, a phenomenon that could end our life as we know it, especially due to the progressive warming of the planet.
