Why is collecting discarded cell phones so important?

Millions of old cell phones gather dust in drawers. Deutsche Telekom has already collected 3.7 million used cell phones and is having each device checked to see whether it can be used again or is being recycled. Only devices that are not suitable for a “second life” are recycled to a high standard in Germany. In this way, valuable raw materials such as gold, silver and platinum can be recovered. Anyone who collects old cell phones therefore not only contributes to improving the ecological balance of the devices that continue to be used, but also saves valuable resources.

With this campaign, Deutsche Telekom and the DFB are also committed to social projects. For every cell phone collected during the campaign, they donate 50 cents to the organization “HateAid”, which is committed to human rights in the digital space and to strengthening democracy online.
