Materials like gold, lithium, and tungsten used in the phone are claimed to be 70% sourced from certified recycled materials. Additionally, the phone has been certified as 100% e-waste neutral. This means that for every Fairphone 5 produced, an equal amount of electronic waste is collected and recycled.
