Just one of the many reasons that recycling is so important for the environment.

Did you know smartphones contribute to 10% of our global e-waste? According to the EPA, For every million cell phones we recycle, 35 thousand pounds of copper, 772 pounds of silver, 75 pounds of gold, and 33 pounds of palladium can be recovered!
