CELLULAR PHONES ARE RECYCLED DIFFERENTLY FROM
OTHER ELECTRONICS
2

• When it comes to the recycling process of our
  electronic waste, not all electronics are
  processed in exactly the same way
• CRT televisions and monitors are processed
  differently from LCD televisions and monitors.
  Computers, printers and other small electronics
  are processed in a different way than cellular
  phones. So how and why are cellular phones
  processed differently than other small consumer
  electronics when it comes to recycling e-waste?

The Mobile Phone Recycling Process

• Nearly 100 of the materials in a mobile phone
  are recyclable, which is more than most other
  electronics. The cell phone recycling process can
  be broken down into 6 basic steps.

The Steps of the Cell Phone Recycling Process

• This process has also been referred to as
  above-ground mining.

In the first part of the mobile phone recycling
process, the cell phones are properly dismantled.
Then, theyre sorted into these components

• Batteries- (Lithium Ion, NiCad, NiMetHyd)
• Chargers and/or other accessories
• Circuit boards
• Handsets
• Metals
• Paper/cardboard packaging
• Plastics

• In the 2nd step of the process, the batteries are
  then sorted according to their individual
  chemical types.

8

• In the 3rd step of the process, the circuit
  boards are processed for their precious metals.

• In the 4th step of the process, the handset
  casings made from pure plastic are shredded and
  used in the production of composite plastic fence
  posts or plastic wood planks that are used in
  garden beds and other garden furniture.

• In the 5th step of the process, both the mixed
  plastics and the accessories are shredded.

11

• In the 6th and final step of the mobile phone
  recycling process, the packaging is properly
  separated into paper and plastic.

• We should all take care to remember that this
  after-life of our old mobile phones is an
  important part of reducing the amount of e-waste
  on our planet.
