An unlimited supply of recyclable materials, low start-up costs, high profit margin, and few competitors are what make the recycling business attractive. If you've been recycling for years, it's time to profit, while helping protect the environment. Here are the basic steps on how to start a recycling business from home.

Although no conclusive and undisputed study about the dangers of cell phone radiation has been published to date, scientists warn that there is so much we don't know about it and that the actual impact may be felt years from now, when it is too late to reverse the damage. To inform and protect the public, the Environmental Working Group (EWG) has prepared a study on mobile phone radiation covering 1000 cellular phone models in the market today.

The huge demand for coltan and other minerals from the Congo to manufacture cell phones and other electronic products has brought the African Eastern Lowland Gorillas to the brink of extinction. This demand is fueling the raging civil war in that country and paving the way for wholesale destruction of rain forests - the natural habitat of these gorillas. Cell phone recycling is an effective way to lower this demand and hopefully, end the bloody conflict and buy more time for the endangered African gorillas.

Every year, over 100 million cell phones are discarded in the United States - less than twenty percent of these are recycled and about 10 million units end up in the landfills.

The green cell phones and concept phones of 2009 represent a truly unique convergence of technology and innovative ideas. In compiling this list we were looking for cutting-edge renewable power sources, use of recycled or easily-recyclable materials, zero toxic substances, and enhanced capabilities.

There is more gold that can be recycled in one metric ton of used cell phones than can be extracted from 17 tons of gold ores. Cell phone recycling provides a great otion to conserve finite resources, provide a steady supply of materials to the production stream, and most importantly, protect the environment from the devastating impact of gold mining.

The only viable option - if we want to protect our health and the environment - is to recycle cell phones. Mobile phone recycling will not only prevent highly toxic chemicals from poisoning our waterways, it also ensures that useful metals found in them like gold, silver, and coltan are kept in the production stream.
