Mazuma Mobile is a British based company that focuses on the recycling and refurbishment of used digital products, predominantly mobile phones. Since the company's foundation in 2006 it has become one of the country's leading recyclers of mobile phones. In 2015, Prince Charles of Wales spoke about Mazuma Mobile during a presentation to the Cambridge University Institute For Sustainability on the environment, and how companies can use existing business services to improve their environmental record. ==History== Charlo Carabott and John Lam founded the company in 2006, focusing predominantly on the recycling of used mobile phones. Within the first four years, Gizmodo stated that the company had paid out £68 million to customers for their recycled handsets. A mystery shop in 2011 scored Mazuma as the best mobile phone recycler in the United Kingdom when compared against eight other companies. The secret shoppers evaluated a number of different services including quality, speed of service and overall performance. As trade-in services became increasingly popular, Mazuma's methods were discussed in The Guardian, along with Apple Inc.'s trade-in policy for used handsets, which were manufactured by them. This followed media coverage suggesting manufacturers needed to work closely with recycling companies such as Mazuma, in order to ensure that as much of the mobile phone as possible can be recycled. After Apple included other phones, such as Samsung mobile devices in its trade in scheme it was again mentioned in the media that Mazuma offered a better price for trade-ins. In 2015, Prince Charles of Wales stated in a presentation that more companies should consider their aspects of their supply chains in order to improve recycling. As part of this discussion, he used Mazuma's business strategy as an example of how companies can reduce waste, using pre-existing services. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Mazuma Mobile」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
