A circular economy for smart devices

https://www.green-alliance.org.uk/resources/A%20circular%20economy%20for%20smart%20devices.pdf




Circular Business Models in the Mobile Phone Industry

 The final seminar in a project commissioned by the Nordic Council of Ministers to map out circular economy business models in the mobile phone sector in Nordic countries. The team has analysed the issue through in-depth interviews with stakeholders. As well as mapping out models, we’ve identified opportunities and obstacles to growth in circular business models represented by the current legal, economic and organisational framework conditions.

Come to the seminar and hear the results of the studies and participate in discussions on developing potential initiatives that can accelerate adoption of circular business models. There will also be opportunities for short case presentations by industry stakeholders including mobile phone brands, network service providers, mobile phone repairers/refurbishers and retailers. We welcome a range of participants including industry stakeholders, policy makers and consumer organisations!

11 Uses for Your Old Smartphone

Do you have an old smartphone lying around? Repurpose it! There are a number of ways you can reuse that old mobile device.



Contribute Your Phone to Science
As long your old smartphone still turns on, it's probably just about as powerful and capable as your late-90s desktop. So, why not "donate" some of those unused resources to a good cause? Currently just for Android, you can download the BOINC app (Google Play), which was developed by the University of Berkeley to harnesses your device's unused computing power for crowdsourced science.
You can help SETI@Home search for alien signals, use computational power for health and sustainability research with IBM's World Community Grid, assist Asteroids@home in trying to avoid the planet getting hit by an asteroid, and other such projects. Choose which project you want to help, hook it up to your local Wi-Fi, and help our species progress into the future!
