Recycling

Phones which are not suitable for re-use are safely recycled. 

Fonebak operates a zero landfill policy:

• Handsets are sent to a specialist recycling agent in Sweden where metals are extracted using waste-to-energy incineration.
• Batteries are sent to a specialist recycler in France. Nickel cadmium, nickel metal hydride and lithium ion/polymer are extracted and returned to productive use.
• Chargers & Accessories – the metals are recovered and the plastic is melted into things like traffic cones and buckets.
• Mixed plastics are melted and formed to make plastic sheeting.
