Cashify’s Pledge To Protect The Environment

There are three ways in which our beloved Mother Earth can be rejuvenated – reducing, reusing, and recycling e-waste. Fortunately, these three go hand-in-hand and Cashify uses that to its advantage. By recycling and selling smartphones, Cashify is indirectly reducing the load of e-waste on Earth.

Just like any other form of waste, e-waste needs proper management. India is easily in the top 5 list of countries with the most number of smartphone users. Automatically, one can only imagine the amount of e-waste that is piling up in the country. That is definitely not good news this World Environment Day, eh?
