The importance of anything cannot be judged by the size. If it so then mobile phones have not become an inseparable part of our life. Although they are small in size but their usage and popularity is breaking all records with every passing day. Enlivened by such an inspiring response from the buyers various companies made up their minds to jump into the same business. Today the scenario is such, that a new mobile phone launched into the market almost every second day. But nobody bothered to think that what will happen to the old or dead mobile phones? Merely decomposing them into the earth can lead to a very dangerous situation. In an attempt to get rid of this problem, some scholars came up with the option of recycling the mobile phones.
Some days back I came across a similar kind of news in which it was mentioned that O2, the well known UK mobile network provider, has adopted the mobile recycling programme. The good thing is that the people are also co-operating with them in this noble cause. That is the main reason that the company has paid out a total of £1 million cash incentive for the donors of the old or dead mobile phones.
I further learnt that these mobile phones are being repaired to be made suitable for reuse by the people of poor countries like Africa and so on. The people there are so poor that they hardly have any money to buy even an entry level phone. By providing them these old mobile phones almost free of cost or at a very cheap price can at least solve their communication problems up to an extent.
This way the process of mobile recycling is proving beneficial for both the parties (recipient as well as the donor). Donors are reimbursed for the handset depending upon its condition whereas recipients get an opportunity to avail a cheap recycle mobile phones at an unbeatable price. It is a very good initiative and we all should try to be a part of this campaign.
