In Belgium, three million cell phones lie forgotten in a drawer. And yet 90% of the materials in cell phones can be recycled (copper, cobalt, silver, gold, etc.). By 2024, Proximus wants to collect no fewer than 140,000 devices and recycle them thanks to the collaboration with Brainscape. Together we prevent new extraction of raw materials in developing countries.
A warm call to all cycling fans to put their greenest foot forward and participate in the recycling action! This is possible at all Proximus Cycling Challenges mentioned in the calendar and at 6 rides of the Teamleader CRM Classics Tour. Your recycling participation will be rewarded. How?
