PRODUCT STEWARDSHIP
Responsibility within the mobile phone industry
Product stewardship is about taking responsibility for the
things you make throughout their entire life cycles. MobileMuster
is a perfect example. It's an initiative that's voluntarily funded
and supported by the mobile phone industry, to give Australians a
free way of ensuring their old mobiles and accessories are safely,
securely and ethically recycled at the end of their useful
lives.
In addition to MobileMuster, the mobile phone industry is
constantly working to reduce the environmental and human health
impacts of their products, across their entire lifecycles. This
includes:
- Improving how efficiently resources are used in the production
of mobile phones
- Ensuring that mobiles collected are recycled to the highest
environmental standards
- Minimising waste in the manufacture, production, use and
disposal of mobiles and accessories
- Reducing risk to human health through better management of
product manufacturing and disposal (e.g. ensuring safe work
environments )
