Management of used & end-of-life mobile phones
Keywords:
mobile phones, collection of electrowaste, electrowaste, End of LifeAbstract
The issue of the increasing amount of e-waste is a phenomenon of the 21st century. The typical representative of small electrical equipment is the mobile phone that belongs to the one of the biggest technological and worldwide used breakthrough for personal communication. The amount of EoL mobile phones is growing rapidly but only a small amount is recycled.
