Industry To Make Recycling System
I think it is high time that the mobile phone industry start up on thinking of ways of recycling unwanted mobile phones. After all, many owners of mobile phones just store them away in some drawer or in some locker when they do not like the gadget anymore. They just buy a new one and then bury the old one in their memory.
And that is why the mobile phone industry is thinking of recycling these gadgets. This project, now known as the Fonebak, is headed by Shields Environmental. Tagging along with the project are some of the major players in the industry which includes O2, T-Mobile, Vodafone, Virgin Mobile, Orange, as well as Dixons Group.
It is good that they are doing something about this. Just ponder of these statistics that some groups have collected. In Britain alone, 45 million mobile phones are in use and are utilized as an accessory. The average mobile phone user changes units every 18 months. So imagine just how many they already are.
