The rapid development of technology leads to frequent personal
turnover1 of mobile phones. About 50 percent of users in China change to a new phone every 18 months, according to Chinanews.技术快速发展导致个人手机更新迭代愈发频繁。据中新网报道,约50%的用户每18 个月就会换部新手机。 However, alongside the high replacement2 rate is a low recycling rate. China now has about one billion unused mobile phones, but only two percent have been recycled with most of the rejected devices improperly3 handled.然而,伴随高迭代率的是低回收率。国内现在有约10亿部废旧手机的存量,回收率只有2%左右,大量更换下来的旧手机都没有得到妥善处理。 “废旧手机”指被废弃的、老旧的手机,所以英文可以用old and discarded cellphones表示,也可简称为discarded phones。
