Mobile News Awards 2025 Retrospective: Celebrating Innovation and Envirofone’s Big Win
The Mobile News Awards 2025, held in April at the London Hilton on Park Lane, was a spectacular night of recognition for the UK mobile industry. Looking back from November, the awards ceremony confirmed two major trends that have dominated the year: the relentless focus on customer service and the critical rise of the circular economy. We are immensely proud that Envirofone was recognised at this prestigious event for our commitment to responsible tech reuse.
🏆 Envirofone Wins Best Recycling Programme
A huge highlight of the evening was the recognition of the companies leading the charge in sustainability. Envirofone was delighted and honoured to walk away with the award for Best Recycling Programme.
This award acknowledges our ongoing commitment to extending the life of mobile devices, ensuring they are professionally refurbished and rehomed rather than simply recycled for raw materials. The judging panel specifically praised our transparent processes and the dedication to offering customers maximum value while promoting environmental responsibility. This win is a testament to the hard work of our team and the commitment of our customers who choose reuse over waste.
