The Huge Wealth of Used Mobile Phones
According to industry sources, about 150 grams of gold can be extracted per ton of used mobile phones. The Japan Electronics Communications Association estimates that 30,000 mobile phones can recover 1 kilogram of gold, and 10,000 mobile phones can recycle 1 kilogram of silver. Based on the annual abandonment of 200 million mobile phones, the total amount is about 20,000 tons. Based on the total, about 3,000 kilograms of gold, 60,000 kilograms of silver and 2 million kilograms of copper can be obtained.
The spare parts of discarded mobile phones, such as circuit boards, batteries, speakers, cameras, and microphones, contain precious metals. They can be directly disassembled like cameras, and installed in other places for reuse. In addition, the plastic case of the mobile phone, the display screen, and the earphones and chargers also have re-use value. It is understood that about 35% of the weight of the entire mobile phone is occupied by various precious metals such as gold, silver, palladium and tin. What is more gratifying is that the precious metal is nearly 30 times more per ton than the original mine.
The recycling of used mobile phones is part of the entire recycling industry, and it is also related to the harmless treatment of electronic waste with dangerous attributes. At the moment when the state encourages the development of a green circular economy, the outbreak of resource recycling industry value will also drive the rapid transformation of the waste mobile phone processing market toward resourceization.
