Apple says "not sending a charger has saved 550,000 tons of ore"

Apple officials said,

The box is no longer enclosed with plastic film. Through the redesign, Apple completely eliminated the plastic film that covered the iPhone box, reducing the amount of plastic used by 600 tons. The screen protector in the iPhone 13 package is also made of recycled fibers.

No longer comes with a charger, this change is really bold. Apple has saved an estimated 550,000 tons of copper, tin and zinc ore.

In the iPhone 13 series, Apple uses 100% recycled gold for motherboard plating and front and rear camera wiring, and 100% recycled tin for motherboard solder. The haptic engine that created the iPhone's vibratory reputation also switched to 100% recycled tungsten. The super-porcelain crystal panel that the iPhone 12 series began to use is much harder than the glass panel, and the anti-drop ability is increased by 4 times. Daily wear and tear is even less of a problem, minimizing the need for repairs or replacements.

The battery charger system meets the requirements of the U.S. Department of Energy, and the iPhone 13 charges 54% less than the energy saving standard. With iOS's ability to intelligently manage power consumption, the iPhone is responsible for each charge, so that every battery is used properly. 100% renewable electricity.

Apple's two iCloud data centers in Gui'an, Guizhou, and Wulanchabu, Inner Mongolia, both use 100% renewable electricity. Apple Music and iMessage messages that everyone listens to run on servers powered by clean energy.

In fiscal 2021 alone, 38,000 tonnes of e-waste were converted into use. Apple offers customers a variety of recycling options to make the most of every time, such as the Apple Trade In redemption program, which can be easily deducted online.

Master the teardown of 23 iPhone models. Apple's dismantling robot Daisy recycles just 1 ton of copper and gold from iPhone parts, which is equivalent to mining more than 2,000 tons of rock. These materials, taken from the iPhone, are used in new products, and they are endless.

In fact, not only the iPhone, Apple's entire line of products are living up to the promise of carbon neutrality in 2030. 100% of the final assembly plants are certified to zero waste to landfill. Mercury free, PVC free, beryllium free, brominated flame retardants free. 100% polyester yarn. The 34% reduction in carbon footprint is due to M1. The body is made of 100% aluminum.

This causal chain is also too long, right?

Rather, Apple never sells cheap mobile phones, not only leaving room for shipments for other mobile phone manufacturers (two or three thousand yuan of mobile phone shipments are the largest)

And to protect the human eye, the most important thing is to save hundreds of millions of kilowatt-hours of electricity, if there is no boundary to calculate, how much ore is this?

Well, Apple se, which has been selling such a low configuration, is also a kind of protection for the environment, understand
