List of quotes from Peter Holgate:

"The research also indicated that the same volume of discarded mobile phones produces approximately 100kg of copper and 3kg of silver, as well as a number of other metals.

In addition to easing the burden on the environment that could represent, Holgate said it could also take the weight off a collective conscience since some precious metals are mined in notable conflict areas.

“We don’t need these mines in developing countries with shady characters because there’s enough metal dug out of the ground already. It’s all here,” Holgate said.
