This initiative is a part of Vodafone’s commitment to curb its carbon & environmental footprint. According to the statement by the group, the program will offer its customers rapid assistance and repair services and an online platform will be established where users exchange their old phones. In the long term, it will encourage customers to recycle their phones and purchase refurbished smartphones.

It was part of the company’s joint initiative “e-tadweer” with the government to tackle the rising problem of e-waste.
