Mobile apps that amplify impact without amplifying emissions

The Carbon Cost of Mobile Apps

Mobile technology powers billions of lives, but it also consumes vast resources. Every app download, data transfer, and update has a carbon cost. Poorly designed apps lead to battery drain, excessive data use, and high server demands, all of which contribute to emissions.

That’s why fluo develops eco-designed mobile applications crafted to be efficient, accessible, and aligned with your sustainability goals.

Inclusive Design: WCAG-compliant interfaces and language support that broaden participation.

Durable Development: Architectures that minimise unnecessary updates, extending the app’s lifespan.
