The American company has always been an ardent defender of the quality of its materials and is always looking to improve the materials it uses in each of its devices. This must be accompanied by the fact that he has always challenged himself to be environmentally friendly. Therefore, the materials used are not only of the best quality, but they are also environmentally friendly, to put it in a way. The batteries were the only part that suffered a bit from both features, but it seems that this will change in 2025.
With the commitment always in mind to be 100% carbon neutral by 2030, which means that all of its suppliers must be, because Apple already is, decisions are made that mark the way towards achieving this lavish goal. It not only invests money or helps third-party companies, but also aims to change the landscape of battery manufacturing.
It seems that in 2025, a few years, the batteries they will use 100% recycled cobalt. On top of that, magnets in Apple devices will use 100% recycled rare earth elements by 2025, and all Apple-designed circuit boards will use 100% recycled tin solder and gold plating. . This means that every device purchased after this date will contain a high percentage of recycled materials, making the iPhone, for example, a much more sustainable device. Apple will be synonymous with quality and ecology.
It’s a very ambitious plan because the figures show that last year and the year before the percentage of recycled cobalt was rather low, so you have to work hard to achieve it. The two-year figure seems reasonable.
