Bulgarian mobile operator Globul and phone accessories retailer Germanos have collected 2182kg of used mobile phones, batteries and other accessories for recycling in the first year of their joint campaign, Globul said in a media statement on November 19 2009.

The waste was collected from 266 stores and offices of Germanos and Globul nationwide, from customers and company staff, as of the Globul Green campaign.

Globul Green attempts to promote and initiate not only increased environmental awareness amongst Bulgarian consumers, but also to reduce its own carbon footprint, the company said. The operator pledged to invest 400 000 leva in the implementation of the program.

Globul said that it continued to reduce paper usage in its offices and for advertisement leaflets, saving 34 tons or the equivalent of 800 trees.

Since its start in November 2008 and until February 2009, the campaign collected 930kg of handsets, batteries and accessories, exceeding initial expectations.
