Recycling Policy

At Envirofone we believe in the three R’s. Recovery, Reuse and Recycle:

Recovery

Calling all mobile phone owners. Envirofone want old and unused mobile phones so we can find new homes for them. At the same time we offer our customers a great cash price for their old mobile(s).

Reuse

At the top of the recycling chain is reuse. It really is the way forwards and ensures that mobile phones get a new lease of life by using as little energy as possible. We reuse almost all handsets somewhere in the world, often in developing economies where access to mobiles makes a real difference to peoples lives.

Recycling

In some cases we aren’t able to refurbish or sell on the mobile phone ourselves. In these cases we send the mobile phone for evaluation by a registered recycling company. They then decide if they can refurbish, use for parts or break down the mobile phone for recycling.

We operate a zero landfill policy

At Envirofone we have a zero landfill policy; we ensure that all materials are either, reused refurbished or safely recycled in an environmentally friendly manner.

Our promise to the environment

As our name suggests, we like to do our bit for the Environment. We Reuse almost all the mobile phones we recover and make sure these handsets go on to have a new life.

If the mobile phone is not reusable by us, we’ll send it on to a 3rd party recycler who will then evaluate it and decide whether the mobile can be refurbished, used for parts or broken down for recycling.

We’ve also joined up with CO2 Balance to give anyone that trades a mobile phone with us the chance to off-set the Carbon Footprint of their mobile. We have managed to offset 676 tons of Carbon since starting our initiative.
