Mobile Phone Recycling: Giving Old Phones a New Purpose

The video discusses the rapid turnover of mobile phones due to new features and competitive pricing. It highlights the expansion of cellular networks in less developed regions where fixed lines are inadequate. The video introduces a mobile phone recycling initiative that includes a recycling bag with every new phone sold, offering incentives up to 80 lbs based on the phone's make and model. Customers can choose to keep the money or donate it to charity. The recycling program aims to support local charities and reduce environmental impact. Phones are assessed for refurbishment, granulation, or resale to developing countries. Granulation is explained as a process for destroying unserviceable phones.
