Research Methodology

To develop an in-depth analysis of the subject area, a study will be undertaken which will include a survey to establish what individuals do with their unused mobile phones; this will be a single closed question and therefore will be quantitative data. Documents (including videos and photographs) will be studied and statistics analysed from organisations and commissions and the resulting data interpreted. Primary sources will be used, though secondary sources may also be needed to answer the questions fully. The questions are as follows:
- What do individuals do with their unused mobile handsets?
- Who is responsible for the correct disposal of mobile phones?
- What amount of a mobile phone is recyclable?
- What legislation, if any, is in place?
- What damage are mobile phones causing the environment?
- Are there any innovative mobile designs that are environmentally conscious?

A conclusion to what impacts do mobile phones have on the environment will be made based upon the research results.
