Back Market and iFixit Want You to Use Your Phone for at Least 5 Years

Two leading companies in the electronics industry, Back Market and iFixit, have come together with a common goal – to encourage consumers to use their phones for at least 5 years before replacing them.

Back Market, known for its refurbished electronic devices, and iFixit, a platform for DIY repair guides, have both recognized the environmental impact of constantly upgrading to new phones. By extending the lifespan of phones, they hope to reduce electronic waste and promote sustainable consumption.

Through their partnership, Back Market will offer incentives for consumers to purchase refurbished phones instead of new ones, while iFixit will provide repair guides and tools to help users prolong the life of their devices. This collaboration aims to shift consumer behavior towards more responsible consumption habits.

By advocating for the use of phones for at least 5 years, Back Market and iFixit are leading the way in promoting a more sustainable approach to electronics. Together, they are showing that it is possible to enjoy the latest technology without constantly upgrading, ultimately benefiting both the environment and consumers‘ wallets.
