| Users on average replace mobiles every 18 months; 15 million are discarded in the UK each year but only 4% are recycled, isn't that staggering? They are a hazard if discarded and if they are recycled they can be put to very good use. |
|
| Currently, it is estimated that there are about 50 million phone users in the UK with 1.30 billion mobile phone users world wide and this number is steadily rising. Eurosource Europe also state that 58 million replacement mobiles are bought each year in Europe, with approximately 85 million unused phones lying around in people's homes. So, millions of old phones could potentially be recycled annually, although it is estimated that fewer than 5% are. |
