CALPIRG: Make Smartphones With Replaceable Batteries

Americans throw away more than 400,000 cell phones every day. Not every year. Every single day. If you stacked these phones flat on top of each other, they would create a tower six times taller than the Empire State Building. If we want to reduce this electronic waste, we need phones that are durable and repairable. All rechargeable batteries eventually die, which means smartphone manufacturers, like Apple, Samsung, and Google, can prevent a big chunk of this e-waste with one simple step: Make the batteries in their phones easily replaceable. Tell tech companies – Let buyers easily replace their phone batteries. Speak out HERE.
