RECYCLING CELLPHONE

It is normal to throw the cell phones and the batteries, that we dont need the garbage dump domestic, why not? .Actually there is little information about the harmful effects of this in the environment and human health. The disposal of used batteries of cell phones has become a global debate increasingly important, mainly because of the toxic compounds they contain. Batteries are composed of mercury, cadmium, manganese and nickel. Which by their properties are highly toxic, so prolonged exposure to sunlight, heat, can generate a continuous overload these components are released from the battery cover and the environment are causing terrible damage on both the environment and in health. In health, for example foods containing cadmium can stimulate vomiting and diarrhea and, if breathed, there are heavy damage to the lungs. Decreased intelligence, delayed walking and talking (to be consumed through breast milk), increased blood pressure, lack of coordination, blindness, seizures and memory loss. Since 2005 the major manufacturers of cell phones do models that are easy to recycle; this was agreed at a conference organized by the United Nations Program Environment Programme (UNEP). The purpose of this meeting was to find solutions to the growing volume of electronic waste or "junk". Since today, cell phones are between 1 and 2% of these discarded materials, including fittings and terminals and it is estimated that this proportion continues to increase even more. On the one hand, the constant introduction of new models, new technologies, make some people get to change their phones to more than once per year and on the other hand, in countries with inadequate basic telephony infrastructure, most of the traffic phone is via cellular networks. Currently, the market there are over 500 different cell tech on sale, and generally each month the market is invaded by more than 20 new phone models

An example of this is the case of the Samsung Blue Earth, a cell site, where plastic comes from recycled bottles, because of their name and blue. So given that we must care for the environment since each day is more deteriorated due to the use of chemicals, gases, cars, trash, and pollution in general. These eco-friendly phones called conventional characteristics His forehead has a touch screen with resolution of 400 x 240 pixels (very low compared with Galaxy Nexus of 1280 x 720 pixels) but, turn it around, there is a solar panel that fills the back cover, leaving a space for the lens of a camera of 3.2 megapixels. In this way, energy and subsequent operation of the device is made from artificial light recharging and / or natural. So, no need to load it into an electrical outlet, unless the phone with the battery is fully depleted a situation in which I should be resorted to traditional charger. One of the features of the Samsung Blue Earth is the technological development of specific software which informs the user saving CO2 emissions by walking instead of using a car, and the amount of solar energy that the device is using. Over the past few years later recycling and reuse of plastic materials such as cell has been a tendency to rise. Another example is the Nokia 700, known as the smallest smartphone from the company for its 96 grams of weight and thickness less than 10 millimeters. This particularity in its size corresponds to a business concern for reducing the amount of plastic used in the devices. With the same purpose, 60% of packaging that uses cellular packaging comes from recycled materials. Thus, both the interior and exterior of the cell has an origin of recycling. The internal parts are made with recycled metals, the same component to present the outside, combined with recycled plastic, ceramics and plastics regular. Thus, the Nokia 700 is free of PVC, nickel, chlorine and bromine. These features make 100% of the product is capable of being recycled as material or energy. Its screen is 3.2 inches, has a 5 megapixel camera and features NFC technology for fast interactive communication. In terms of software, the device has an application installed on ecology and related wallpapers, maps, route optimization and pedestrian routes. With these features, both devices achieve a small contribution to reducing our carbon footprint. Moreover, common utilities integrate the rest of the cellular and WiFi connectivity, GPS, radio and music player and video. Gradually, with business initiatives, social and educational sustainability is present in different technological areas from its three key axes: economic, social and environmental. Today most people are not interested in the proper use of cell phone batteries, not knowing the risks that might be going through and all because of insufficient knowledge about themselves and their compounds,only good about recycling electronic culture can change this and make to save our environment
