Our Environmental Policy

« Back to About Us

For those of you who want a bit more information on the company and our policy we included the following information. Don't worry - you don't need to get your head around the following to raise funds but it will certainly give you a better insight into the company!

Eazyfone Group is a leader in the recycling and reuse of old mobile phones and works to substantially reduce the numbers that are sent to landfill sites. As mobile phones and their batteries contain several dangerous metals, including lead, cadmium, lithium and mercury, recycling or reuse helps protect the environment and save natural resources.

Our environmental policies are at the core of our business strategy and we aim to reduce our impact on the environment.

The Eazyfone Group Commitment

• Full compliance with all applicable legislation.
• Continual improvement of our environmental performance, in line with the WEEE directive and our ISO14001 status.
• Minimising the risk to employees, the public and the environment from toxic material.

Our recycling and reuse campaigns divert old mobile phones away from landfill sites, thereby preventing toxic build up. Mobile Phones, chargers and batteries collected this way, are graded and then recycled and reused or broken down for reuse of parts in other electronic products.

Eazyfone Group, fully certified by ISOQAR to the internationally recognised ISO 14001 standard employs stringent Environmental Management Systems to provide an alternative to disposal into landfill sites and employs all possible means to minimise impact on the environment.
We also take pride in our "open-book policy", whereby our environmental performance and objectives are available for viewing at anytime.

The WEEE Directive

We fully comply with all requirements outlined for the WEEE Directive, which is expected to come into effect in 2007. WEEE refers to the collection, management and safe disposal of electrical and electronic equipment, including mobile phones and is forcing major changes in the way electronic waste, such as mobile phones, is classified and handled.
Eazyfone Group is able to offer its expertise and support to organisations seeking to set themselves up to comply with all likely WEEE Directive requirements before the Directive takes force.
We also meet the strategic waste reuse and recycling aims of local authorities, hold waste transport licences and work closely with clients, suppliers and business partners.
