iPhone and the Environment
iPhone?13 models are designed to minimise their impact on the environment, including the use of 100?per cent recycled rare earth elements in magnets like those used in MagSafe, 100?per cent recycled gold in the plating of the main logic board and the wire in the front camera and rear cameras, 100?per cent recycled tin in the solder of the main logic board, and for the first time, in the solder of the battery management unit. iPhone?13 and iPhone?13?mini also include antenna lines that utilise upcycled plastic water bottles that have been chemically transformed into a stronger, high-performance material — an industry first. Redesigned packaging for the iPhone?13 line-up eliminates the outer plastic wrap, avoiding 600 tonnes of plastic and bringing Apple closer to its goal of completely removing plastic from all packaging by 2025. iPhone?13?Pro and iPhone?13 meet Apple’s high standards for energy efficiency, and remain free of numerous harmful substances.
Today, Apple is carbon-neutral for global corporate operations, and by 2030, plans to have net-zero climate impact across the entire business, which includes manufacturing supply chains and all product life cycles. This means that every Apple device sold, from component manufacturing, assembly, transport, customer use, charging, all the way through recycling and material recovery, will be 100?per cent carbon-neutral.
