The Mobile Phone Campaign Berlin-Brandenburg, led by the INKOTA network, is a forward-thinking initiative focused on collecting old cell phones across the region for responsible refurbishment or recycling.

Millions of unused phones lie forgotten in households, containing precious metals like gold, silver, and copper that could be recycled. Meanwhile, the mining of these materials often involves harmful environmental practices and exploitation, adding urgency to the need for ethical recycling solutions.

By setting up easy-to-access collection points across Berlin and Brandenburg, the campaign encourages citizens to donate their old devices. The collected phones are professionally refurbished or recycled, with proceeds supporting global projects that combat water pollution caused by mining and promote sustainable development.
