One of the biggest factors that is spreading around the world at the moment is mobile phone recycling. So if you have any old handsets lying around then you can trade these in.
Mobile phones contain harmful components that aren’t good for the environment we live in, having these recycled is a great way to help the planet because most phones traded in are sent to smelters who will reclaim the precious materials such as:
* Nickel and lithium is extracted from the batteries.
* Plastic and metal parts are stripped from the charger and accessories.
* Mixed plastics are melted down and reused.
* Gold (and other metal) is extracted and reused – reducing the need for mining.
Other phones are sent to third world countries in Africa and the Far East who will make great use of them.
