Sabko Phone: Refurbishing old phones to let people access expensive phones and reduce pollution

No doubt, the invention of electronics has revolutionised people’s life. However, e-waste (electronic waste) has become one of the major threats to the environment nowadays. The growing amount of e-waste is contributing to environmental pollution and adversely affecting the health of living beings.

Alarmed by this fact, Uttam Kafle, active in the field of sustainable development, and Shubheksha Tiwari, an international law student, co-founded the startup Sabko Phone two years ago. This startup buys faulty, damaged, second-hand and broken mobile sets and sells them after refurbishing.
