Samsung’s busted Galaxy Note7 phone may have become a punchline, but 4.3 million dumped devices is no joke to the environment, Greenpeace warns.
Now that the Korean phone giant has recalled millions of the devices after a recent global fiasco in which multiple devices were found to be fire hazards, it’s important to dispose of them in a safe way, the environmental group says.
If the phones end up in a landfill or get burned, they’ll release toxic chemicals into the air. Metals in the phones such as tungsten, cobalt, silver and gold are also worth recycling.
