Hi Vianney! Very great take one the phone recycling issue. I just wrote about planned obsolescence on phones but by that point I haven’t read your piece yet. I thought the only obstacle in recycling is that (I assumed) most people won’t bother, but you just pointed out that recycling itself is inefficient.
I guess to lessen the environmental impact the phone itself has to change? I still believe Fairphone is not going mainstream anytime soon (but it’s a good niche), unless making environmental friendly products become more economical than not.
Cheers!
