You can also rest assured that we’re a responsible recycler – 99% of the items we receive are reused in markets across the world, particularly in developing markets where there’s a huge demand for good quality, great value gadgets and phones. Those few which have reached the end of their life and can’t be reused are responsibly recycled, breaking down the components and extracting metals for reuse. With O2 Recycle, Landfill’s never an option.
