The wireless industry has revolutionized the world. Over 3.0 billion people, or over 45% of the world’s population, now own cell phones. This wireless revolution has brought on a growing environmental concern. It is estimated that over 500 million tons of cell phones have been retired worldwide. Numerous toxic elements contained in wireless devices, including lead and arsenic, will be disposed of in landfills unless viable recycling solutions are implemented.
