Mobile Phone & Ink Cartridge Recycling

According to David Adam in the Guardian (8 Jan 2005), users on average replace mobiles every 18 months; 15 million are discarded in the UK each year but only 4% are recycled, isn't that staggering? They are a hazard if discarded and if they are recycled they can be put to very good use.

58 million replacement mobiles are bought each year in Europe, with approximately 85 million unused phones lying around in people's homes. So, millions of old phones could potentially be recycled annually, although it is estimated that fewer than 5% are.

Add to this the fact that over 500,000,000 empty ink cartridiges are dumped each year!

Now you can send your old mobile phones and used ink cartridges to the Evergreen Trust and all proceeds will be put towards our Charcoal Stove and Hydraform projects.
