Closing the loop

Closing the Loop is a Dutch company and NGO based in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, founded with the aim to reduce electronic waste (e-waste). It does this by collecting 'end-of-life' scrap phones in Africa and Asia, where it also gives used high quality mobile phones a second life. The scrap is recycled in Europe. In this way Closing the Loop turns scrap phones into valuable resources and an income for people in developing countries. Its goal is to prevent mobile phone from ending up in dump sites and create an more sustainable telecom industry at the same time.
