Why recycle mobile phones?
|
It is currently estomated that as many as 15 million old mobile phones lie redundant in UK businesses and homes (Source: Office Green). Recycling reduces the amount of landfill waste and reduce the amount of raw materials needed to produce new products and it ensures that the mobile phone is disposed of safely. The rechargeable battery and other components such as the LCD display have toxic components. Research suggests that there are over 20 million potentially toxic redundant mobile phones in the UK alone (Source: Waste Watch).
