**Recovery of Precious Metals from Cell Phones** - April 2004

The recovery of precious metals from cell phones is an important recycling process that is economically attractive and helps protect the environment. Especially in China, the rapid proliferation of cell phones has led to an increase in the number of discarded cell phones. Against this backdrop, Japanese companies are developing precious metal recovery businesses in China, establishing waste treatment and recycling plants to promote the efficient recovery and reuse of precious metals. This initiative is expected to reduce resource waste and environmental impact as well as expand business in the future.
