Green might be the new black, but comparatively few consumers are so environmentally conscious that they’re recycling their unwanted mobile phones. According to market analysis firm iSuppli, fewer than one in ten—9.4 percent—of U.S. consumers who bought new mobile phones during the fourth quarter of 2007 recycled their old cell phones. But, even though the numbers are still small, it still represents some improvement: that rate is almost double the number of new phone buyers who recycled their old phones in the third quarter of 2007.
