Phone Recycle Bank are dedicated to making sure your old mobiles meets a greened future. With the typical phone contract lasting just 18 months and mobile manufacturers continually investing in new mobile technology we are increasingly upgrading our handset on a more regular basis.
When handsets arrive at our recycle centre they are separated into working and non working, they are then graded as to the level of repair they need. Typically handsets that are beyond repair are broken down for parts; these can then be reused for refurbishment of other handsets, any parts that are left over are recycled in line with European Legislation. Handsets which can be refurbished, and yes we do repair some non working handsets are passed to our team of specialist engineers.
Quality of Service and Protection of the Environment
Phone Recycle Bank is registered with the British Standards Institute (BSI) to the international management standards ISO9001:2008 for Quality and ISO14001:2004 for Environmental. Realizing the importance of these areas to our business, in both the service we offer to our customers and minimizing our affect on the environment, Phone Recycle Bank have achieved the merger of these systems into a registered Integrated Management System, based on the requirements of PAS99:2006.
Environment Agency Approval
Our current facilities and operation have been reviewed by the Environment Agency and granted Authorised Treatment Facility (ATF) status for handling WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment).
Phone Recycle Bank registered management systems and ATF statuses are subject to both ongoing internal audit and third party external assessment by BSI and the Environment Agency. These ensures our processes, systems and material handling are regularly reviewed and independently assessed to confirm compliance with international standards and national legislation and to promote continual improvement.
