How It Works

• Roughly 60 percent of used cell phones sent in can be refurbished and resold. These cell phones generate the greatest amount of revenue to help lift women and families out of poverty and provide lasting solutions to climate change.
• Another portion of the recycled phones are programmed to dial only 911 and donated to domestic violence survivors, elders and low-income people at risk for use in emergencies.
• The remaining cell phones are recycled according to EPA standards.

Why Is It Important?

• A staggering 70% of people in poverty globally are women and children.
• In the United States alone, 14.6 million women and nearly 13 million children are living below the poverty line – equal to the combined populations of Iowa, Indiana and Wisconsin.
• Recycling just one million cell phones reduces greenhouse gas emissions equal to taking 1,368 cars off the road for a year.
