As well as 62% of greenhouse gas emissions occur during the extraction and processing of raw materials.

According to a 2018 study carried out by the Californian University McMaster, smartphones contribute significantly to emissions, in fact these will increase from 17 million tons of CO2 to 125 million in 2020 in 10 years.
