Does your company also have a lot of old or broken cell phones lying around gathering dust? That’s a shame! Cell phones are excellent for recycling. By handing in your old phone, you contribute to a more sustainable world and help reduce electronic waste. Did you know that many parts of old phones can be reused? Recycling old phones ensures that valuable materials such as gold, silver and copper are not lost. In addition, you can hand in an old mobile phone at specialized collection points so that it is processed in the right way. In this blog, we tell you all about what you can do with your old device and why it’s important to limit e-waste.
Recycling old phone
An old phone is perfect for recycling. Phones are full of valuable raw materials such as gold, iron, copper and nickel. When recycling an old phone, we first remove the lithium battery from the phone. This is a fire hazard, so this requires a special approach. We also tackle the screen of your old phone separately because it contains mercury. We take apart each old phone separately. What remains is for cell phone recycling!
In addition, turning in an old phone is not only good for the environment, but also for recycling. Usable smartphones can be resold as used phones after restoring factory settings, a thorough inspection and any repairs. Before you turn in your phone, it’s smart to back up your data before completely emptying it. This way you make sure you don’t lose anything important when switching to a new phone. By turning in your old phone, you are helping to reduce e-waste and giving your device a second life. Whether you choose to recycle or use a used phone, every step contributes to a more sustainable world!
Choose certified mobile recycling
It is important not to place recycling of your old phone directly with the first best party. You naturally want this to be done safely and responsibly according to all guidelines. For this reason, the EU has created the so-called WEEELABEX certification. This is the most important certification in the field of recycling and data destruction. Only the best parties in the market qualify for WEEELABEX.
