Mobile Phone Recycling - The Facts
It is estimated that there are currently fifty million mobile phone subscribers in the UK, the average mobile phone user will upgrade once every eighteen months, twenty million phones are upgraded every eighteen months in the UK alone. Only 20% of mobiles in the UK are ever re-used or recycled which means that close to one hundred million phones are stored in people’s cupboards, drawers and attics collecting dust. If these phones were all piled up on top of each other they would weigh six times heavier than the London Eye!
