CST Launches Second Phase of "Recycle Your Device" Campaign
The Communications, Space and Technology Commission (CST) has officially launched the second phase of its 'Recycle Your Device' campaign, in collaboration with the Ministry of Communications and Information Technology (MCIT), the National Center for Waste Management (MWAN), and key partners including Aramco, Roshn Group, Ertiqa, Jahez, Zain, SMSA, the Saudi Green Initiative, the Saudi Investment Recycling Company (SIRC), and CO Kitchens. Targeting both individuals and businesses, the initiative aims to promote environmental sustainability by encouraging the recycling of electronic devices as part of a broader shift toward a circular economy. This effort also supports social responsibility by helping underserved families gain access to digital tools. A dedicated digital platform has been created to guide users through the process of donating their devices. It includes information on eligible items such as landline and mobile phones, tablets, modems, printers, desktop computers, and laptops. The initiative offers two main pathways: one for securely recycling devices and donating the value of recovered materials, and another for refurbishing devices to be donated to families in need. CST has stressed that all personal data will be permanently erased from each device to protect users' privacy. The first phase of the campaign, launched in 2022 with MCIT, MWAN, and private sector partners, saw the donation of over 100,000 devices valued at more than SAR 30 million. This milestone marked a significant step in reducing electronic waste, conserving resources, and supporting the long-term sustainability of Saudi Arabia's digital economy.
