All Ways Refurbished Phones Are
Reducing the Global Warming
Effect

2. Overview
Your mobile phone is actually contributing to global warming. According to a study by the
Journal of Cleaner Production, the world of information and computer technology (ICT) has
an exponentially increasing contribution to the global environmental impact.
The ICT includes all electronic computing devices, such as laptops, personal computers,
tablets, and, of course, smartphones.
According to The Conversation, the global footprint is said to reach 14% by 2040. This is
more than the contribution of the entire worldwide transportation sector.

3. How Mobile Phones Affect Global
Warming?
There are several factors in which mobile phones can affect
global warming. Two of which are the following:
● Mobile phone production
● Mining for materials

4. Mobile Phone
Production - 1
Mobile phone production impacts global warming
as several smartphone manufacturing plants are
powered by fossil fuels, which release excess
CO2 as well as other greenhouse gasses into the
atmosphere. Mobile devices also contribute
highly to plastic pollution.

5. Mobile Phone Production - 2
You may not know it but the global warming problem is getting worse by the day.
According to Zmergen, there are 5.15 billion mobile phone users on the planet, and that
number will keep on increasing each passing year.
The GSMA Intelligence indicates that smartphone usage is growing at a rate of 8% per
year. With each new smartphone innovation, more old model phones are thrown away,
ending up in the landfill and creating more toxic waste.

6. Mining for Materials
Cobalt and Lithium are both necessary materials
in creating lithium-ion batteries which run your
mobile phones. Mining for these two materials is
terrible for the environment.
You see, cobalt mining uses excessive amounts
of electricity and increases global CO2 and
nitrogen emissions.
While lithium mining doesn't have greenhouse
gas emissions, it still use incredible amounts of
water.

8. There are several ways you can minimize your mobile phones' effect on global warming.
One of which is taking charge of your own smartphone usage. You should stop the mindset
that mobile phone needs to be replaced every two years.
As such, if your phone starts malfunctioning or slowing down, don't throw it away, instead
recycle it. You should also replace your old phone with a refurbished phone.

Reduce carbon emissions. Choosing to go refurbished means you are not
contributing to the carbon emissions that a new phone would produce.
There will also be a reduction on the demand on resources. Buying
refurbished phones also means that you are potentially saving these devices
from being wasted in landfill.
Reduce level of waste contribution. The continuous manufacturing of
smartphones will result in e-waste production and since recycling is not
always possible, the waste ends up in landfills. If you buy a refurbished
phone from here, you can help put an end to this cycle.

Prevent contamination from unnecessary e-waste. There are
chemicals contained in smartphones that pollute soil, water and air.
Refurbishing phones, which is one of the ways you can recycle tech, will
help reduce the amount of e-waste which can cause contamination to soil,
air and water.
