Xiaomi presents next week Poco X2 smartphone with 120Hz screen – Tablets and phones – News

There are not the same things in new telephones, the assumption is already flawed, at most resistors and the like, which cost less than a cent to make and are therefore never profitable for recycling.

You should not throw telephones in the trash, but by selling / giving away until they are outdated, by that time literally everything has been caught up to that telephone. And then at most rare metals can still be extracted after you return them to the right place (WeCycle).

Less than 10 billion smartphones have been sold and each weighs between 100 and 150 grams. Then you are talking about 2 billion kilos of e-waste about all the time that smartphones exist, that sounds like a lot, but is that also a lot?

For your information: every day that arrives at the port of Rotterdam!

For your information: not every gram on your phone is reusable, actually only the metals, and that also costs raw materials / energy to recover.
