Research shows that most Australian households have at least two old mobiles sitting around, unused. This makes up an estimated 25 million stored across the country.
Mobile phones are treasure troves of valuable components including metals such as gold, copper, silver and palladium. We mine these precious resources all over the world to make our mobile phones and that’s a lot of energy, carbon and resources, especially when we have lots of these resources sitting in our old phones at home.
