In recent years, Apple has always regarded environmental protection as one of the core considerations in the production process and selection of materials, and even made some compromises in the configuration of product accessories. For example, the charger and earphones have been cancelled. The iPhone 13 that was just released not long ago went one step further. Judging from the exposed pictures, the packaging box has eliminated the plastic film and adopted a paper tear-and-pull design instead.
Apple said that this year it decided not to use plastic film to cover the iPhone13 series packaging boxes, thereby reducing the use of plastic by 600 tons. This move is also to achieve the goal of completely eliminating plastic packaging by 2025.
In fact, it’s more than that.According to information from Apple’s official website, iPhone13 is committed to minimizing the impact on the environment, such as upgrading and transforming a plastic water bottle into a more powerful and high-performance material to make an antenna, which is the first time in the industry.
I don’t know, what is the signal of the antenna made of plastic water bottle modification material?
In addition, the iPhone also uses 100% recycled rare earth elements in magnets such as MagSafe, 100% recycled tin is used in the motherboard solder, and 100% recycled tin is used in the battery management unit solder for the first time. Both models also use 100% recycled gold in the plating of the motherboard and the metal wires of the front and rear cameras.
Apple said,At present, the company has achieved carbon neutrality in global company operations, and plans to make the climate impact of all company operations reach net zero by the end of 2030, including the manufacturing supply chain and the life cycle of all products.
This means that every Apple device sold, from parts manufacturing, assembly, transportation, customer use, charging, to equipment and material recycling, will be 100% carbon neutral.
