@sureshpprabhu help domestic Indian smartphone manufacturers. Remove the embargo on used phones. Low cost used would fuel the economy in poorer areas and lay the ground work for the domestic manufacturers to follow through with the up sell #circulareconomy

Great piece of market analysis by @Decluttr. There is a long tail of value in the older smartphone models. NB 2.5% of smartphones on a UK network are the iPhone 5S - min spec for many ‘gigster apps’ #circulareconomy #smartphones #reuse #remanufacture

DGFT agrees to allow the import of refurbished tech into India. This will create a supply of low cost smartphones for the poorer corners of India's society that will catapult their GDP long term. @circulareconomy #climatechange #smartphones

Apple reportedly persuading customers to buy a new rather than fix their old one! A long way to go before the manufacturers embrace circular economy and needs of the eco-conscious. Network operators...this is your moment!

Great article @themadstone Transition to a smartphone circular economy needs a concerted effort across the whole ecosystem. M(v)NOs have a window of opportunity to become the conductor(s) that bring the harmony & cadence

@rstephens @rklau now there's an idea!

As MNOs turn to handset finance companies to facilitate the separation of airtime & handset contracts, they are actually moving one step closer to handset-aa-service & a circular economy. @FastCompany
