How does Cell Phone Recycling work?

Inform, a non-profit environmental research company, has recently produced a short video explaining how cell phone recycling works, and what isn't working about it. Inform is responsible for researching most of the statistics used by anyone who ends up writing an article about cell phone recycling, not to mention how often it can be found on cell phone recycler's websites.

The only inaccuracy about this film is that many cell phone recyclers don't remove the information from your phone. The information from you phone will most likely get erased during the refurbishing process, however, this is not a responsibility cell phone recyclers typically take on due to the time intensive nature of the process.

Nonetheless the rest of the video answers many of the frequently asked questions from my experience, and was well put together. Check it out below.

Thanks for the post, it's a very interesting short video that provides an insight to the whole recycle phone industry. I didn't know that the companies don't remove the information on the phones, I'll keep that in mind if I ever decide to recycle mine.
