The airline Flybe flies across 190 routes in 13 countries and has been dedicated to innovation for many years. One of the airline's innovative schemes is to offer the opportunity for its passengers to recycle mobile phones and printer cartridges in exchange for valuable Flybe Reward Points.

Flybe Reward points can be gained by passengers in the recycling programme of mobile phones and they can earn up to 15 points for each handset. Points earned by the passengers can be exchanged in return for flights or access to the airline’s Executive Lounges all over Europe. At the same time they can earn money for the airline’s partner charity, Cancer Research UK.

mobile phone recycling programmes are definitely helping the environment go green and it is one of the most important factors to be taken care of. Mobile handsets contain various perilous materials. For example cadmium, lead and beryllium are the most prominent materials. People should be aware of the dangers and that in recycling mobile phones you're being eco-friendly and helping the environment.
