Including fair minerals in our electronics is an iterative process. We focus on 14 materials that give us the most potential to make a positive impact on people and planet. Here’s a brief behind-the-scenes walkthrough of both our fair and recycled materials.
Inside the battery
Fairphone 5 comes with our fairest battery yet: it has fair lithium and fairtrade gold integrated in the supply chain and impact cobalt credits, a living wage bonus and a commitment to the highest standards on CO2 reduction and social auditing by our battery supplier.
Our battery (supply chain) now includes
- 75% post-consumer recycled plastics in battery frame
- 100% recycled tin solder paste
- 80% recycled steel and nickel alloy
- In addition, we account for 100% of the cobalt used in the battery by buying cobalt credits, which support the improvement of working conditions for artisanal cobalt miners in the DRC.
- We also account for 100% of the silver contained in the battery through buying Fairmined silver credits, which support Fairmined certified artisanal miners.
We’re the first and only smartphone company to integrate Fairtrade gold into our supply chain.
Read our blog postThe back cover
- 100% post-consumer recycled plastics for all the different Fairphone 5 back covers and colors.
The OLED display
- The display contains 100% pre-consumer recycled indium and 90% post-consumer recycled magnesium in the display frame, as well as 41% bio-circular recycled plastics.
- Fairtrade Gold integrated in the supply chain.
Inside the speaker
- The speaker itself contains 100% pre-consumer recycled rare earth elements and 100% recycled plastics for the speaker cover. And Fairtrade gold in the supply chain
Inside the BTB connectors
- The board-to-board connectors contain Fairtrade Gold integrated in the supply chain, and 100% post-consumer recycled plastics in the connector cover.
Meet the makers
We put people first
All the parts in your device come together to work for you because people made it that way. Thousands of them. And they deserve a better quality of life for them and their families. Including sufficient income, a safe workplace, and the opportunity to be heard. Without them, there would be no smartphone.
The main supplier of the Fairphone 5 meets the strictest standards for safe and decent working conditions (SA8000& ISO45001). To make a lasting impact, our approach puts workers and their needs first. Focusing on paying living wages to increase income, and on strengthening worker voice and representation, as well as health & safety.
We’ve expanded our living wage program to also increase the wages of the people who make the components that go into your phone, like the battery or the vibration motor. Supporting our suppliers and their component suppliers to understand the needs of workers. Ultimately, cherishing the many hands that made your phone.
“We believe a fairer electronics industry is possible. By making change from the inside, we’re giving a voice to people who cares.”

Climate conscious
Climate conscious and the Fairphone 5
Climate conscious is an approach to avoiding and reducing carbon emissions by designing products that last, working with our suppliers to reduce our products’ footprint and reinvesting in the planet and projects that put people first. How do we do this?
By working with our suppliers
We’ve partnered with our final assembly and battery manufacturers to implement renewable energy for the production of Fairphone 5. But this is not where we stop. By working with our suppliers to set climate targets we stimulate carbon reduction in our supply chain - beyond Fairphone products. We also stepped up our materials sourcing with your Fairphone 5. Inside your phone is recycled aluminum, magnesium, rare earth elements, tin, nickel, zinc, copper, plastics, and for the first time, indium.
By investing in the planet
Through investing in Gold Standard certified projects in Uganda and the Democratic Republic of the Congo, we’re helping to reduce CO2 emissions while contributing to community-based activities. Our contribution matches the remaining emissions of Fairphone 5’s lifecycle.
