In this day and age nearly every family has at least one mobile phone with many having one phone for each family member. Over time phones break, wear out, or just get thrown out because newer and better models are developed. With over a billion new phones being purchased each year it’s no wonder that the amount of phones being thrown away is reaching staggering amounts. The astonishing statistic is that less than 20 percent of phones are disposed of in a manner that is not harmful to the environment.
While the easy thing to do might be to chuck the phone in the rubbish or in the back of a drawer, the easy thing isn’t always the best thing. Mobile phones are made of products that decompose over time and this can lead to exposure to harmful chemicals. For this reason when you purchase a new phone it’s important to locate a mobile phone recycling centre. These mobile phone recycling centres sometimes offer programs that provide mobile phone recycling for cash or credit toward a new device.
NEC is a highly regarded manufacturer of electronic goods including mobile phones. NEC is dedicated to working with consumers to educate and provide options for mobile recycling. By reusing recycled products in the manufacturing of new phones NEC can eliminate excess waste. NEC’s Total Trade policy is a great way for you or your business to discard of e-waste in a safe manner that won’t be harmful to the environment.
