Every product , when made , uses natural resources of the environment like water , minerals , land and so on . Every product has a life from the moment it is created . That is the beginning of its life cycle . When the user does not need it anymore , or when it stops working , the product 's life cycle comes to an end .
People generally change their phones every eighteen months . Not many people may know that making more cell phones means hurting the environment and also gorillas . Cell phones are made up of minerals called coltan , which is found in the Congo , which also happens to be the habitat of gorillas . Mining for this mineral means cutting down trees and forests where gorillas live .
Learning about the cell phone 's life cycle may make you think about the energy , money and resources that go into making it . Think about giving ' reuse , reduce or recycle ' a chance before you throw it in the trash .
1 . Gathering the material
The material needed to make a cell phone are extracted from the earth treated , prepared and shipped to parts of the world for assembly .
3 . Putting the material together
Electricity , crude oil , plastics , fibreglass and glue are only some of the things need to put the cell phone together . All of these materials are sourced and treated in different places and finally , transported to the assembly unit .
4 . Getting the cell phone to the store
Plastic and cardboard packaging boxes that are made in other parts of the world re shipped to the factory where the cell phones are assembled . Once packed , the cell phones are again shipped to different countries from where they are sent byroad or rail to store in different cities .
5 . Using the cell phone
People buy and use the cell phone . The packaging is trashed .
6 . Getting rid of the cell phone
