[Approximately 200 grams of gold can be extracted from 1 ton of old mobile phones] The China Circular Economy Association estimates that my country generates over 400 million discarded mobile phones annually, with about 60% remaining at home (approximately 250 million idle). Less than 40% enter the market, and only 5% are disposed of through formal channels. Besides low recycling prices, concerns about personal information security are also a significant obstacle to the recycling of discarded mobile phones. The large number of idle mobile phones represents a vast, underutilized "resource mine." A single mobile phone accessory contains over 60 elements; approximately 200 grams of gold and other renewable materials can be extracted from 1 ton of old mobile phones, a yield far exceeding the output of an equivalent weight of gold ore.
