If you're still not sure, here are a few more reasons to trade in your mobile:

  • Mobile phones are, on average, only used for 12 to 24 months before they are replaced by new handsets. As a result, over 100 million mobile phones are unused in Europe every year, and that number is growing all the time
  • It's illegal to put your old handsets in household waste
  • There are estimated to be 66 million old and unused mobile phones in the UK
  • Less than 10% of these are recycled
  • Around 25 million phones are upgraded each and every year - which would mean the "phone mountain" is potentially increasing year on year by at least 17.9 million phones
  • Phones can add to the to the burden of landfill and potential toxins from batteries and plastics can leak into the ground
  • Every phone can either be re-used or recycled
  • Re-use of phones is better for the environment - no new raw materials are required, and the life of the phone is extended
