Handset Exchange For Climate Change: For enterprise, businesses, government offices and departments and organizations that have large quantities of late-model, similar phones that are regularly upgraded and replaced. Owners and managers can receive substantial carbon offsets from these late-model wireless handsets based on specific make/model/condition value. High reuse value means that a single handset could earn as much as 1, 2 or 3 tonnes of carbon offset to help reduce the carbon footprint of business operations and activities.

“We are extremely excited to partner with carbonfund.org in the development of the ‘first-of-its-kind’
RecyCool Program” says Gordon Weis, President of The Wireless Source, Canada.

“By recovering and recycling pre-owned cell phones - something that everyone has, doesn’t want anymore but doesn’t know
what to do with - many groups, activities, events and businesses can easily help reduce their carbon
footprint, strive for carbon neutrality and combat climate change at little or no cost. Supported by collateral marketing materials, collection tools and tips plus free, pre-paid return logistics, the RecyCool Program is a unique and effective ‘triple bottom line’ initiative for all Canadians:
Environmental Responsibility … Social Responsibility … Financial & Global Climate Responsibility”
