Safe Recycling
Safe recycling means finding a trusted recycler who will:
- Pay customers the full market value for individual devices
- Recycle for reuse wherever achievable
- Ensure end-of-life devices are dismantled and parts recycled or safely disposed of
An average smartphone contains:
- Up to 62 different metals – most mined from raw finite materials
- Gold, silver, platinum, palladium, copper
- 16 out of 17 rare earth minerals
- Tungsten, tantalum, tin – three of the biggest conflict minerals
Keeping these devices in circulation reduces energy use and emissions. It keeps the poisonous substances in mobile devices from leaching into landfill.
Safe Recycling means making sure your devices are not poisoning someone else’s backyard.
