People can send their unwanted tech devices to O2 Recycle for free where the device will be repaired, refurbished, resold, or recycled \u2013 with zero parts going to landfill. Gamers will receive up to \u00a3283 for a PlayStation 5, up to \u00a3110 for a Nintendo Switch (OLED) and up to \u00a3238 for an Xbox Series X, as long as the devices work fully. The initiative, which aims to tackle e-waste and promote the circular economy, is also now accepting MacBooks, alongside smartphones, tablets, wearables and earbuds. Anyone can use O2 Recycle regardless of their mobile network.<\/p>\n<p>Virgin Media O2 said its recent research showed 58% of gamers were unaware that consoles could be recycled. While 83% said they\u2019re holding onto old consoles, despite not planning to use them, and 42% said they don\u2019t use their old gaming device because it\u2019s broken or missing a part. Since its launch in 2009, Virgin Media said O2 Recycle has recycled almost four million devices and paid out \u00a3341 million to consumers and, last year, the initiative processed almost 180,000 devices, which were recycled or resold as \u201clike new\u201d products to customers.<\/p>\n<p>The scheme is part of Virgin Media O2\u2019s sustainability strategy, the Better Connections Plan and its goal is to encourage consumers to carry out 10 million \u201ccircular actions\u201d by the end of 2025. The company has also partnered with environmental charity, Hubbub, on its Community Calling programme, which it said has re-homed more than 17,000 smartphones.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.circularonline.co.uk\/news\/gamers-can-now-trade-in-their-consoles-for-cash-with-o2-recycle\/\">Circular Online<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/3-494\/\">Gamers can now trade in their consoles for cash with O2 Recycle<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[13852,575,13853],"class_list":["post-129120","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-consoles","tag-environmental-news-en","tag-gaming"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/129120","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=129120"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/129120\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=129120"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=129120"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=129120"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
