Mazuma Mobile is a British based company that focuses on the recycling and refurbishment of used digital products, predominantly mobile phones.
Since the company's foundation in 2006 it has become one of the country's leading recyclers of mobile phones. In 2015, Prince Charles of Wales spoke about Mazuma Mobile during a presentation to the Cambridge University Institute For Sustainability on the environment, and how companies can use existing business services to improve their environmental record.
As part of Prince Charles of Wales' initiative to get companies to recycle their goods they no longer use, Mazuma's approach was quoted by him personally and also in The Guardian. Mazuma's reuse and recycling services were commented on as they allow customers to exchange their old mobile handsets for money, which in turn ensure devices have a longer life. This was following coverage that suggested Mazuma offered as much as £65 extra when compared to manufacturers trade-in prices. The example used was Apple's iPhone 5.
He stated that the majority of mobile handsets are refurbished and then reused as they are sold to approved partners. Those that couldn't be refurbished or there is little demand, have their parts recycled where possible, dramatically reducing the waste from digital products. The speech and comments from Prince Charles of Wales were made at the University of Cambridge.
