Borloo is considering a deposit for mobile phones
The Ministry of Sustainable Development has presented the operators a project that would be to collect between 2 and 5 euros for the purchase of mobile phones and that will be returned when users bring them back.
The green wave is about to hit the mobile industry. Last year, the Ministry of Ecology, Energy, Sustainable Development and Spatial Planning (Meeddat) had considered extending the bonus-malus system to other product families than cars, including mobile phone batteries. But this line of work has proved, in the study, complicated to implement.
What followed
Pkoi I say that's bullshit on the bottom? Because this puts the mobile phone at the level of an object "quickly consumable" not to say "disposable" ... and that is not good at all for the environment!
Instead of putting a deposit to 3 or 5 € (giving more the impression of a discount on the next laptop and thus promoting renewal) it would be more interesting to drastically increase the ecotax because when we see that it is at 0.01 € for some materials at 1000 € ... Frankly !!
