QwikFone Fighting The Epidemic of Mobile Phone
Waste
1888 Press Release - QwikFone's refurbished
phones represent one of the largest contributions
to reduce the E-waste crisis the world is facing
in the telecom sector for the past decade. Using
BER phones to refurbished other phones is greatly
reducing E-waste in landfills. E-waste is one of
the world's largest problems as the millions of
tons of E-waste produced every year has no place
other than being piled in landfills. The amount
of plastic used in manufacturing mobile phones
makes this type of E-waste non-biodegradable. Sin
ce its start, QwikFone took an environmentally-awa
re approach by using spare parts from old
irreparable phones to refurbish and repair other
units from the same brand and model. This policy
helps reduce the number of smartphones that would
have otherwise ended up in landfills. QwikFone
has refurbished and sold over 40,000 used
smartphones saving our planet more than 6 Tons of
E-waste in addition to the parts saved and used
from Beyond Economic Repair (BER) devices. With
customers buying refurbished phones from QwikFone
rather than buying new phones, about 2.2 Million
KG of CO2 Emissions from manufacturing new
smartphones were saved in addition to an enormous
amount of water and other natural resources such
as gold, silver, and copper, which are usually
used in the manufacturing process. Thanks to the
vision of QwiikFone's CEO owner, Ishaan Seth,
the platform is growing to become one of the
largest marketplaces in the UK for used and
refurbished phones where different sellers and
buyers can meet to renew and reuse smartphones
and other electronics. As a result, much more
resources are going to be saved and more tons of
E-waste is going to be spared. https//www.qwikfo
