Australian recycling initiative MobileMuster, a free mobile phone recycling program that accepts all brands and types of mobile phones, teamed up with artist Chris Jordan and college students from Melbourne, Australia to create a public installation. The installation, which is composed of over 8,000 discarded mobile phones, was presented in Melbourne during the Sustainable Living Festival, which takes place in February. According to the event's organizers:"If 23 million old mobile phones were recycled it would lessen the need to mine over 144, 000 tons of precious metal ore, recover over 397 tons of plastic and have the equivalent of environmental impact of planting over 120, 000 trees."
