The greenhouse gas impact of a Fairphone 1 smartphone was studied using a technique called life cycle assessment. The main focus was on the production, assembly, transportation, and end-of-life waste treatment stages of the phone. The study found that the biggest environmental impact comes from producing the phone's components, particularly the Printed Circuit boards (PCBs), followed by transportation. Overall, production contributes 62% to the phone's environmental footprint, while transportation contributes 27%. The research aimed to assess the carbon footprint of the smartphone to understand how its lifecycle affects the environment.
