Recycling

Turn your old mobile into something new

But, according to our latest study, only 9% of people recycle their old phones. What’s that all about? Take our three steps to recycling heaven and see how easy it is to give your old phone a new life.

Three steps to recycling heaven

Step 1. Get over your old phone

Hanging on to your dear old Nokia handset? You’re not alone. Research shows about 44% of unused mobile devices are sitting around in the bottom of drawers. 

But they’d be far better off recycled. 100% of the material in a Nokia device can be recycled to make anything from musical instruments to  kitchen appliances and  park benches.

Hang on though! Check first that a friend or family member doesn’t want your old handset.
If they don’t, it’s time to say goodbye.

Step 2. Save your digital memories

So you’ve decided to recycle your phone – that’s great – but don’t forget to back it up before you say goodbye.

Backing up your Nokia is easy. Nokia Suite is free software that lets you organise, store and share all the stuff on your handset with your computer.
