Photos: Recycling the mobile mountain

By Andrew Donoghue on 05 April 2006

A biodegradable phone cover with a sunflower built into it and a circuit board made of pasta are just some of the techniques being employed to make mobile phones greener.

An exhibition has opened at London's Science Museum looking at the issue of mobile phone recycling. Dead Ringers, which is based in the museum's Antenna science and technology news gallery, investigates how the European Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) directive will impact industry and consumers alike.
