Where should your HPs go?

You think your dysfunctional handphone should be thrown away? You got it wrong!

Consider these before you put them in the trash bin!


- Some 240,000 tonnes of raw materials can be conserved if only all three billion handphone owners in the world recycle their devices. Nokia’s environmental coordinator Nellie Abdullah said this would be equal to taking four million cars off the roads.
- 80% of the handphone parts can recycled. Plastic covers can be made into traffic cones and charger's cord into anti-static mats.

the big BUT?

-only 3% of the 6,500 handphone owners surveyed worldwide by Nokia recycled their devices
