The volume of electrical and electronic equipment (EEE) consumed in every country is enormous and growing rapidly so it‘s essential that every country builds end-of-life processing capacity for its eWaste.

With over a billion TVs; another billion mobile phones and a similar number of PCs in use it’s clear what needs to be done and there are already many end-of-life recycling facilities already processing electrical and electronic equipment efficiently without damaging the environment.

So, mobile phones are not ending up in landfill; and they present no health or safety threat to those employed at the recyling centres.

We should learn from the countries leading the way currently, namely Holland, Belgium, and Germany where there is an effective green and environmental lobby already in place.

There are both valuable and toxic waste in mobile phones so certainly the best solution is to sell your phone to companies such as Fonebank – they pay you for the vaualble bits and then recycle properly the rest of the phone. If it’s in good working order it will more than likely still be put to good use in countries such as Africa.
