Let's get Down to Business: Recycling Used Devices

12/7/2012

Last month, our parent company, Compass Intelligence, conducted a survey where over 2,200 business owners and IT decision-makers were asked questions about mobile phone recycling. Using some of the research gleaned from the survey, Bamboo Mobile created this info graphic below to capture preferences from the business decision makers. 

A couple of items to note:
  1. While 31% of businesses plan to trade in or sell back old phones, over 75% of consumers say they have deactivated, idle devices that could be recycled.   
  2. Businesses seem to be less inclined than consumers to require a carrier-owned store to sell back or recycle their used phones. Perhaps if they have a bulk amount to unload, it's easier to go with an online option like Amazon. 
  3. 32% of the businesses polled --who said they had old, non-active mobile phones-- indicated they were saving them for new employees which makes good business sense. Companies are more likely to embrace re-using old devices given their tight IT budgets.
