Sometimes, non-functional e-waste is exported, categorized as used goods to save the associated recycling costs. The treatment or recycling of e-waste in developing countries generally occurs in the informal sector, which leads to increased environmental pollution and health risks. Informal activities in the e-waste recycling chain are present in many developing countries. "Japan has taken the initiative to donate unused mobile phones that are expected to be recycled into medals for the Olympic games in 2020.

Green and recycled mobile phone market in Americas Developed nations, such as the US, are exporting most of the e-waste generated to developing nations for dumping into landfills. With the rising demand for technology and electronics, the generated e-waste per year is increasing. Also, the shelf life of such devices is shortening as technology is evolving each year. Several agencies, such as the US Environmental protection agency (EPA), promote the recycling of e-waste, including mobile phones. The main reason for exporting e-waste overseas is the low labor cost and reduced regulatory issues. Handling the waste generated by mobile phones domestically will require high capital costs and labor. In addition, ensuring the safety of the personnel involved in the recycling and refurbishing of e-waste will lead to additional costs. Green and recycled mobile phone market in EMEA As government legislation is tightening and aiming to reduce e-waste entering landfill sites in Europe, companies are focusing on developing better approaches for surplus waste disposal. The proposed models for reduction of e-waste include resource conservative manufacturing that involves the replacement of damaged, obsolete, and expired components of mobile devices, thereby increasing their lifecycle. It also involves increasing efficient waste collection to enhance the recycling of valuable materials and components. The Middle East lacks comprehensive legislation that addresses the issue of e-waste management. The government is turning to private players to curb the rising challenge of e-waste management. The rising awareness regarding environmental pollution and associated health concerns have led private and public players to take initiatives that aid in reducing the amount of e-waste sent to the landfill. This will lead to an increase in demand for recycled or refurbished mobile phones.
