Kyocera expands mobile phone recycling programme
January 3, 2022
In 2015, Kyocera Communications Equipment Group launched their consumer mobile phone take back programme. Now, they are expanding this programme by teaming up with Big Sky Recycling.
Since beginning business in 1959, Kyocera has embraced a principle called “harmonious coexistence,” meaning they do what’s right as human beings for the environment and their communities. To this day, Kyocera says it continues to take a careful look at what they do, how they do it, and who they entrust to work with. These values are what ultimately led Kyocera to partner with Big Sky Recycling, the company explained.
“We couldn’t be prouder to have been selected by Kyocera,” said Big Sky Recycling founder, Wesley Poritz. “As a Certified B Corporation, Big Sky Recycling uses profits to create a positive impact for our employees, communities, and the environment. This partnership aims to treat our social and environmental impact as the key measures of success, which are goals of both organisations.”
The partnership fits seamlessly into Big Sky Recycling’s existing take-back programme. Consumers can visit Kyocera.com or Bigskyrecycling.com to print a shipping label. All makes and models of mobile phones are accepted, not just Kyocera. Each mobile phone that is donated will be erased, properly recycled, and help support those in need.
