The majority of these emissions come from the processes of manufacturing, raw materials sourcing, and shipping.

As one of the market leaders in the smartphone industry, Apple aims to achieve zero plastic packaging by 2025 and create all products with a net-zero impact by 2030.

Fairphone is also making strides by being the first 100% e-waste-neutral device with 40% recycled materials. In 2022 alone, they recycled 17,000 phones.

In 2023, global smartphone shipments reached a staggering 268 billion units. Imagine the carbon emissions this could prevent as more companies adopt eco-friendly tech.
