Money-Making Mobiles

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Recycle Old Phones for Dough at CellForCash.com

— May 14, 2009 — Eco
CellForCash.com allows people around the world to sell their cell for cash. By cashing in their old, unused mobiles online, people are given some extra pocket money.

With hundreds of millions of unused cell phones, the innovative website CellForCash.com promotes an eco-friendly lifestyle while also paying you cold, hard cash for recycling your old mobile.

Anything helps during this recession, so go on and sell your cell for cash!

Implications - SECOND SENTENCE DOESN'T MAKE SENSE. THIS IS ALSO TOO PRODUCT SPECIFIC.

Consumers are looking for ways to dispose of their older tech devices instead of allowing them to sit on their shelves and collect dust. However, adding a cash incentive to sell it to companies that use the devices for parts and resale, the consumer benefits financially and encourages word of mouth sharing.
Trend Themes
1. Mobile Device Recycling - Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop a mobile device recycling platform that offers cash incentives to consumers for recycling their old devices.
2. Eco-friendly Lifestyle - Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create new products or services that promote and enable an eco-friendly lifestyle, such as recycling or repurposing electronic devices.
3. Cash-for-goods Programs - Disruptive innovation opportunity: Establish cash-for-goods programs that incentivize consumers to sell their unused or unwanted items for cash, increasing financial literacy and sustainability.
Industry Implications
1. E-waste Recycling - Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop advanced e-waste recycling technologies that efficiently and profitably extract valuable materials from discarded electronics.
2. Sustainable Technology - Disruptive innovation opportunity: Explore sustainable technology solutions that reduce environmental impact and encourage the adoption of more eco-friendly practices.
3. Resale & Secondhand Markets - Disruptive innovation opportunity: Disrupt the resale and secondhand markets by creating platforms or services that facilitate the buying and selling of used goods with cash incentives.
