The South Korean company is trying to get all the pieces returned so far Galaxy Note 7 for always get rid of. As Samsung's European marketing director, David Lowes, made his opening speech, one of the protesters stood on the steps holding a large poster with the recycling logo. # was written hereGalaxyNote7 "reconsider, refurbish, recycle".
All this was happening right inside. However, Greenpeace also launched its action in front of the building itself, where activists displayed several other similar banners. Spanish Greenpeace has already asked Samsung several times in the past to return the pieces Galaxy Note 7 properly disposed of and recycled. Just for the record, it's more precisely 4,3 million units of the Note 7.
At first it was thought that the company would refurbish all undamaged pieces and put them back on sale. But only with the difference that he would implement a smaller battery in each machine. But it seems that nothing like that will happen in the end. Greenpeace first got involved in this matter in November last year, when they questioned several important steps in recycling Galaxy Note 7. At the time activists stated that "These phones contain very rare and valuable resources such as gold, cobalt and tungsten. These could simply be recovered….”.
