5 billion perfectly useable mobiles end up in landfill yearly.
Currently we live in a world where there are more than double the number of mobile devices compared to people.
At the recent panel at the Sydney South by South West Festival, the panelists address consumer behaviour and how to stop
mobile phones ending up in landfill by re-using or increasing their usage life.
In this panel Georgiann Reigle is the Co-founder and CEO of the company Kingfisher. The innovative next-gen mobile company has partnered with Telstra in Australia to make the re-usable mobile phones happen.
Kingfisher wants mobile phones re-circulated in the economy by 100%.
