  • Fairphone is a sustainable smartphone with replaceable parts like battery and screen.
  • Made with fair and recycled materials, ensuring good working conditions in factories.
  • Radboud University issues Fairphones and reused Samsung devices to employees.
  • Employees can use private phones with an RU SIM card, but costs aren't reimbursed.
  • Fairphone's longer lifespan reduces total costs and simplifies management for the university.

  • Fairphone offers a 5-year warranty and up to 8 years of software support.
  • Aligns with Radboud University's circularity strategy for ICT hardware reuse.
