How Do Envirofone Recycle My Phone?
If you are considering selling your old mobile phone to Envirofone, you may be interested to learn what they actually do with all those phones they purchase.
Well, Envirofone actually strive to reuse all mobile phones that are in the proper working order. When Envirofone receives a phone, they actually carry out a number of tests to make sure that the phone is not broken. Each phone is then given a grading depending on its state. Some will actually be able to be sold on to another user straight away; others will need some refurbishment before they can be used again. Of course, there will be others that cannot be used again and these particular handsets will be recycled.
Obviously, when you opt to sell to Envirofone you will be quoted a price but this is dependent upon the phone meeting their terms and conditions. Sometimes, after testing, Envirofone may need to alter their quote and they would email you regarding this. You can choose whether or not to accept the revised offer.
Once payment is made, Envirofone will list working handsets for sale on their website. Any phones that are damaged will be sent for refurbishment. However, the handsets that are broken beyond repair will be reprocessed. This is a system by which all valuable components of the phone are removed. This includes the flash memory. The remaining components are then melted down for energy recovery.
Envirofone also works hard to maintain its environmental credentials and offset its own carbon footprint.
