Mobile phone recycling High time to act
Most of us take technology as granted and very few would really like to know what goes in to the gadget and how the technology functions. An average consumer finds no time to really check these details he just buys and uses the devise for his own advantage. It is very difficult to find anybody without a mobile phone even in developing nations. The growing living standards and fall in mobile handset costs provided an opportunity to even the unprivileged and underprivileged to acquire a handset. Let us consider some of the basic trace elements and chemicals go into the manufacturing of a mobile phone.
Mercury the poisonous chemical goes into the so called LCD screen. Some trace elements like coltan, Beryllium and cobalt goes in to the circuit. The effects of these elements on human plant and animal health are hazardous. Especially Beryllium is carcinogenic. There are millions of unused and defunct mobile instruments lying in United States and United Kingdom. These instruments once thrown unmindfully could cause unparallel damage to precious natural resources. No dump is totally safe. The escape of lead and coltan into earth’s crust and water bodies causes immense damage to human health system. The recent studies suggest an average citizen uses about thirty to thirty five mobiles in his life span. The staggering number of discarded phones leas to millions of tons of electronic waste. If not acted with foresight in wisdom this damage could be irreversible.

There are some prominent companies accept most of the brands and offer a fair price to the customer after assessing the functional and technical parameters of the unused or dysfunctional phone. This assures the customer that the discarded instrument is in safe professional hands. These companies extract useful parts of these handsets and reuse them in making new instruments. Some rare elements of toxic nature are extracted using some advanced technologies. These elements also can be used in new handset manufacturing. Some companies fix the instrument and offer to several underprivileged customers as charity. This is a rare opportunity to the customer on two fronts.
