Fónfix's business model is centered around the principles of the Circular Economy, which prioritise reusing, repairing, refurbishing and recycling existing materials to avoid unnecessary waste. This approach diverges from the Linear Economy's lifecycle that often results in the wastage of functional components. Despite this, Fónfix believes that it is still possible to benefit from technological advancements and innovations while remaining environmentally sustainable.
Fónfix is committed to maximising the re-use value of all redundant IT assets, whether by refurbishing them for their original purpose or utilising their individual parts. These assets can be re-used by their original owners, sold to secondary users or donated to charitable organisations. When these assets eventually reach their End of Life (EOL), Fónfix advocates for their recycling in line with the best environmental practices (WEEE Ireland members), with nothing becoming electronic waste (e-waste) or being sent to landfills.
By promoting the environmental and sustainable use of IT assets for businesses and consumers, the Circular Economy plays a critical role in our global efforts to achieve net-zero emissions. Fónfix wholeheartedly supports this goal.
By repairing and recycling tens of thousands of devices annually, Fónfix plays a vital role in reducing the overwhelming volume of harmful electronic waste (e-waste) that pollutes our landfills. By extending the lifespan of technology, Fónfix not only helps to preserve the environment but also ensures that your devices serve you for longer. This creates a mutually beneficial situation where both you and the planet win.
*According to a study by iFixit, repairing a smartphone rather than replacing it can reduce its carbon footprint by an average of 28 kg CO2 equivalent.
Think Repair, Not Replace
Mobile phones are the most common electronic device in the world and they are also the most frequently replaced. We need to change the way we consume and dispose of our electronics to reduce e-waste and protect our planet.
