What does your old phone have to do with gorillas?
Mobile phones contain a range of valuable materials and components. Some of the minerals used in electronics are associated with regions that overlap with important wildlife habitats.
London Zoo have highlighted the connection between mobile-phone technology, rare metals such as coltan and gorilla habitats. That makes the way we use, reuse and recycle our electronics an important part of a wider conversation about responsible technology and conservation.
That does not mean every old phone directly affects gorilla conservation. But keeping devices in use for longer, passing them on for refurbishment and making sure unwanted electronics are handled responsibly can all form part of a more circular approach to technology.
With Envirofone, phones that come in are tested, graded and wiped before being sent back out. The aim is to keep technology in circulation rather than allowing usable devices to sit unused.
This Gorilla Day, why not start with the phone you already own?
