I get to speak to my teenage student aged 15 to 16. Most of them change their handphone every 6 to 9 month. It seem that the itch cycle for teenager for new phone is less than a year. It is a real waste and environmental unfriendly. It is important to start educating our next generation on eco-friendly. Good point on the waste when handphone are been trashed.

I'd like to comment especially on: “But if a product’s components are not designed to be replaced or reused, it is unlikely that it can be recycled efficiently.” I agree that this is a real problem. In my firm ( ~30 people) everyone gets a new cell phone every year. And what happens with old ones - they get trashed of course. It's such a waste. Recovering used cell phones should be on the radar of every major producer. Matt Daniels Author of Reversecellphonelookup There are some great points in this article.
