E-Waste #FunFact 2️⃣ Did you know that【mobile phones contain so many valuable resources?!】
By recycling 1 million mobile phones, we can extract:
Over 35,000 lbs of copper
Over 700 lbs of silver
75 lbs of gold
33 lbs of palladium
(1 lb = approx. 453 grams)
35,000 lbs = approx. 15,875 kilograms
In simple terms, on average, one mobile phone can yield around 15 grams of copper !
Nowadays, everyone has at least one mobile phone, and the rate of use and disposal are proportional. If everyone correctly recycles their unused phones, the resources will be recovered, and we will also significantly reduce our #carbonfootprint, making a substantial contribution to the planet!
(Remember our last discussion about the environmental impact of carbon footprints?)
Let’s choose recycling over disposal.
