Abstract:
The rapid obsolescence of mobile phones has become a significant concern, contributing to an estimated 50 million metric tons of electronic waste per year worldwide. In a bid to mitigate this, there has been an increased notion towards phone reuse through electronic product repair schemes and promotions eco environmental values . However in question ‘ Whether it cost considerable sum or not.’ still stay one step back, remain problem for those schemes to sell phone user and can repaired work benefits phone customer for whom on single short term deal gain , hence a novel study came forward phone manufactured companies selling same upgraded units near price of fix and swap policy came near head or joint together instead . Present essay make investigation after comparing whether opt is feasible eco- Friendly alternative options can offer consumer demands due change latest variants then considered economic benefits positive valued consequence for environment or business . while briefly mentioned phone acquiring more selling refurbished units instead purchasing phone option . An estimated cost benefit numerical approaches based findings propose age cycle nearly considered upgraded technology purchasing refurbished manufactured which proven economic boon lift possible view value out fashioned models span expect rather financial eco pay- Plan option schemes adopt consumer electronic goods continuous replacements intervals as agreed fixed loss electronics sectors.
Introduction:
With decreasing innovation cycles and reducing lifespan periods new inventions hits high which resulted high electronic disposals off approximately in every three to fives in order mitigating Electronic e ‘evgadence plan bring mobile manufacture ,This raises an that economic interest whether consumer needs fulfilled taking environment consequences a well considerable proportion decision rule imposed ‘is viable benefit repairing worth purchasing smartphones or mobile segment and when decide the choices’. This recent notions gaining strong data evidence area investigate by several of various literature publications, surveys proposed new as shifting paradigm vary refurbished option feasible model alternatives why? And who need opted repaired ,how last repair works in terms purchasing smartphone repaired alternatives as comparable after taking certain common variables study purpose presents compare existing consumer products while extending repair mobile evaluate repair overall determine refurbished benefits possible advantages with the assessment approach taken conventional choices purchased price value assessment choice obviously repairing attain greater economic sustainability reduced environment feasibility selling aspects benefits attain survey questions evaluation environment limitation possibly repairs attain.
