Very interesting news and good to hear!
Now what I would love to see is if Fairphone would look into making micro-distribution (i.e. Tilburg → customers) possible without air freight, too. I realize there’s probably still a lot of impatient customers who cannot stand to wait a week or two, but I would love to see air freight-free shipment options in the Fairphone shop for those who can deal with it and want to help the environment (read: us).
I’m curious: Did making the phone (almost) all-black help with increasing the share of recycled materials? In other words: Did you design it black to allow for as much recycled material as possible?
