Apple has announced that it will further expand the usage of recycled materials across its products. Most notably, it's setting a new 2025 target to use 100 per cent recycled cobalt in all Apple-designed batteries.
In a press release, the tech giant also announced that by 2025, magnets in Apple devices will use entirely recycled rare earth elements. Moreover, all Apple-designed printed circuit boards will use 100 per cent recycled tin soldering and 100 per cent recycled gold plating.
Last year, the tech giant significantly expanded its use of key recycled metals, and now sources over two-thirds of all aluminium, nearly three-quarters of all rare earth and more than 95 per cent of all tungsten in Apple products from 100 per cent recycled material. This rapid progress brings Apple closer to its aim to one day make all products with only recycled and renewable materials and advances the company’s 2030 goal to make every product carbon neutral.
This is part of Apple’s long-term goal of achieving carbon-neutral products by 2030. In the press release, the company’s CEO Tim Cook commented that Apple will press forward in the belief that great technology should be great for users and for the environment.
