Just this week, as part of doubling down on their pledge to become carbon neutral by 2030, Apple announced 10 new renewable projects around the world through their Power for Impact program, including partnering to protect and restore the 27,000-acre mangrove forests in Córdoba, Colombia. When it comes to reducing plastics specifically, Apple is working on incorporating more recycled materials. Like the HomePod mini mesh, which is 90% recycled plastic. The Apple Watch Brained Solo Loop, which is 100 recycled polyester, and across the company, more than 70 parts now average 50% recycled plastics as of 2020, and 17 additional parts now use plastics made from bio-based content instead of fossil fuels. They’ve also begun switching to paper wrapping for products, including the iPhone, avoiding 600 metric tons of plastics, and retail bags are now 80% recycled fiber. Overall, Apple has already reduced plastic in packaging by almost half in three years and they have a goal of removing it completely by 2025. Other efforts include recycling aluminum and rare earth elements like magnets, and doing trade-ins and recycling programs for whole entire products, and it’s all designed to minimize the impact e-waste has on our planet, our oceans, and more accurately, our lives.
