Frequently asked questions
When is a smartphone sustainable?
At Coolblue, we pay attention to several conditions. For example, a device must receive software support for at least 3 years and consist partly of recycled material. In addition, you should be able to easily repair it yourself. It's also important not to include a charger by default.
Why is a sustainable smartphone important?
A sustainable smartphone is good for the environment. Using your phone for longer and using recycled materials has benefits for the planet. This reduces both the mountain of electronic waste and the demand for new raw materials.
Why is not including a charger sustainable?
Making a charger also damages the planet. Many people still have a charger at home. That's why many brands no longer put a charger in the box. Do you need a charger? Purchase it separately.
Why is a refurbished smartphone sustainable?
Refurbished smartphones are sustainable, because you give an old device a second life. This way, you prevent the production of a new smartphone. As a result, there's less electronic waste and fewer raw materials are needed.
