This week we love... Envirophone
I'm sure many of you are aware of Envirophone by now. For those of you who don't Envirophone offer a safe and reliable way to get cash for your mobile phones.
Envirophone take their Environmental responsibilities very seriously. They believe in a sustainable environment and that is why reuse is always their first port of call in the recycling process.
95% of their mobile phones are reused. In most cases they’re refurbished and sold to developing countries where they can play a major part in helping to develop communication networks. The reuse of mobile phones offers a valuable infrastructure in these countries.
If a phone is beyond economic repair then they send the phone off to a recycling plant in the UK where it’s broken down and valuable metals and components are extracted.
As well as paying out over £70 million to the consumer they've also managed to offset over 3,000 tonnes of carbon and have paid out over £3 million to charities and the education sector. They actively believe in giving back to the local community which is great to see a company not just saying it but doing it!
So is it worth trading in old phones for cash? Well I recently traded in two old phones and received £33.61 for two old phones.
Nokia 6500 Slide £32.55
Nokia 1100 £01.06
Instead of leaving unwanted phones in your draw, why not earn some easy cash and do something great for the planet.
