Is it All About The Monetary Cost?
How much does it really cost to buy a brand-new device? Well, consider the cost of materials, labour and shipping, you could be looking at double the price advertised to you .
Furthermore, we must explore the effects of breaking down these no longer wanted tech gadgets. E-waste or electronic waste, is the fastest growing and most problematic waste stream in the world. People often throw their broken, unwanted devices away, hence how these gadgets drift through the typical waste stream, ending up in landfills, decaying and leeching toxins into our environment.
This form of carelessness, begins as getting rid of unwanted devices and results in causing a loss of 55 billion euro annually. So, not only is it more cost efficient to repair your current broken device, but it also contributes to a better environment.
Your unwanted, broken, problematic gadget can be given a second rehabilitated life, without damaging the planet. At Celtic Repairs, we recycle and repair both your devices and our Environment.
Making Smartphones is a Big Emissions Process
When we think of replacing our device, we should think more about the cost the device from new. Then double it because we are now buying a new device, so that is 2 x devices made from new!
If your broken phone only needs a new screen to fix it, then just the replacement screen was made to fix your phone.
If you are getting a new phone then try to make use of the old phone, so its not just gone to waste. Someone in your family or a friend may need a phone, this puts your old phone back in use again and is expanding the life cycle of the phone
We all need to think more about our actions and the air that we want to breath now and in the future. Working together we can expand the life cycle of our gadgets. We are happy to help you or offer advice on your household tech Gadgets. Contact Celtic Repairs
