Commown

Commown is a provider of eco-designed electronic products and services to combat programmed obsolescence. Sales structurally push manufacturers to encourage the renewal of equipment. In contrast, Commown offers customers a range of products based on rental with services and without an option to buy. To ensure the long term, the cooperative selects the most eco-designed devices possible, such as Fairphones. Customers not only get a handset, but also a range of services, including support in the event of breakdowns or breakages, user assistance and battery replacement if required. Renting allows Commown to pool spare parts. Nothing gets lost! The subscription price decreases over time, encouraging users to keep the same device. Finally, as the cooperative remains the owner of the equipment, it is also responsible for recycling!
