RE:MOBILE - The importance of recycling old phones: September 25th, 2019

Mobile Phone’s are an essential part of modern life. Everything from interacting with friends, sending money overseas and accessing the vast information vaults of the internet are all accessible through one’s mobile phone. Almost everyone has one, whether they be top of the line or bottom of the bargain barrel. This reliance on our collective connectivity have made the companies who manufacture these products a lot of money. However, like anything, the precious materials used to make a mobile are finite. So what happens if we run out? What is the environmental impact of this mass production? Tuwhenuaroa speaks to RE:Mobile’s Francis Barrett, and started off by asking what RE:Mobile is, and they’re goals are for the future.
