Demand on the Rise for Component Recycling

Modern domestic and commercial recycling is no longer just about taking a few plastic bottles to the local supermarket recycling bins. Recycling is big business and has grown into a global market, one of the fastest growing. Most companies operate with a green profile in mind, implementing real environmental changes such as going paper-free, sourcing ethical suppliers, recycling electrical devices and establishing workable waste management schemes.
Mobile phone recycling experts, Mazuma Mobile, enjoy a seat at the forefront of the electronic waste management market. Companies like Mazuma run the likes of “Sell Blackberry Phones” and “Cash for Mobiles” campaigns to urge mobile users to make the most of their old devices. When an Apple iPhone 4 16GB could net the user £200-£230, it’s a sign that component recycling and device refurbishment is a conspicuous industry.
But despite the fact that an un-needed laptop or mobile phone could be worth something in resale value alone, it’s component recycling and precious metal extraction that are perhaps having the greatest impact. Precious metal costs are rising. Companies are looking elsewhere for solutions at the same time landfills are trying to reduce their volume and boost recycling initiatives.
According to the British Metals Recycling Association, metal recycling is now worth about £5 billion in the U.K alone. The next decade is predicted to be one of the most crucial in terms of establishing workable salvage and environmental schemes to make the most out of waste supply chains.
