Flybe launch mobile phone recycling scheme
17.06.09
Passengers can recycle unwanted mobile phones and printer cartridges in return for flights after Flybe announced a two year deal with Redeem Plc to encourage passengers to recycle by picking up a freepost envelope from its in-flight magazine, ‘Flybe Uncovered’, when on board.
A spokesman for the airline said that the scheme is part of its commitment to both its chosen charity, Cancer Research UK and the environment through the innovative scheme that offers its passengers the opportunity to recycle mobile phones and printer cartridges in exchange for valuable Flybe Reward Points.
The programme allows customers to earn up to 15 Flybe Reward Points for each handset they turn in, which can then be exchanged for return flights or access to the airline’s Executive Lounges across Europe, as well as earning money for the airline’s partner charity Cancer Research UK. For every phone and printer cartridge recycled, £1 will be given to Flybe’s charity partner Cancer Research UK to help it continue its life-saving work.
To find out how many Flybe Reward Points you will receive for your mobile phone visit www.flybe.com/recycle or call 08453 70 70 17.
