Phone Back: Revolutionizing Phone Recycling for a Greener Future

The Phone Back scheme, launched by Shields Environmental, offers an environmentally efficient way to dispose of mobile phones. Supported by major UK mobile networks, retail chains, and the government, the program focuses on reusing and recycling phones. Approximately 70% of collected phones are reused, while the rest are recycled. Over the past year, more than 1.5 million phones have been recycled, highlighting the scheme's success in promoting sustainable waste management.
