A cell phone’s shelf life is only about 24 months for the average user. This means that newer cell phone models are constantly put up on the market to replace older ones. This is as a result of the rapid progression of technology in the mobile industry.
According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), 141 million mobile phones were discarded in 2009 and only 12 million of those were collected for recycling. Most cell phones contain precious metals and plastics that can be recycled to save energy and resources that would otherwise be required to mine or manufacture. The circuit board on cell phones can be made of copper, gold, lead, zinc, beryllium, tantalum, coltan, and other raw materials that would require significant resources to mine and manufacture. This is why recycling old cell phones and sourcing these increasingly scarce materials whenever possible is important.
The Recycling Process Of Cell Phones, Flip Phones Or Smartphones
During the recycling process, any part of a usable mobile device is repurposed instead of being immediately thrown out. The process generally starts when the recycler ships the batteries off to be recycled at a specialized establishment. Then the phone is shredded and melted down in order to take out any materials that can be re-used.
Phone parts that can be recycled include: Batteries; Metals; Plastics; Aerials; Battery connectors; LCD screens; Microphones; Screws; Speakers.
