On the occasion of Earth Day, Apple announced an important announcement: Apple's recycling robots, Dave and Taz, have come to China to recycle tungsten and rare earths from iPhones!
In this regard, Apple CEO Tim Cook posted: Happy Earth Day! At Apple, we are working hard to achieve the goal of achieving carbon neutrality by 2030, and we sincerely thank our supplier partners who have joined us. This year, we're welcoming new recycling robots, Dave and Taz, to help us recycle precious materials like tungsten and rare earth elements from iPhones to help shape the next generation of Apple products.
Ge Yue, Managing Director of Apple Greater China, also said that he is very happy to see our innovative recycling robots Dave and Taz come to China! In the spirit of Earth Day, we are working with our partners to ensure that the potential of recycled materials is maximized, the impact on the environment is reduced, and our planet is protected.
It is reported that Apple currently has three types of robots publicly available. The first was Daisy, a disassembly robot capable of disassembling up to 1.2 million iPhones of 29 different models per year. Apple says that with the help of our user and employee programs and the participation of dismantling robots, we will be able to recycle nearly 40,000 tons of electronic waste worldwide in 2023 alone.
The other two are Dave and Taz, who just arrived in China this time. Among them, Dave can disassemble the tactile bow to help recover the rare earth elements (tungsten and steel), while Taz can help recover the rare earth elements in the magnet.
With the rapid advancement of technology and the continuous growth of consumer demand, the replacement of electronic products is also accelerating. And every iPhone contains a certain amount of precious metals such as gold, silver, and platinum, which are not only expensive to manufacture, but also often accompanied by serious environmental pollution in the mining and refining process.
In recent years, Apple has been increasing its recycling efficiency so that more materials can be reused in the development and production of new products, creating a virtuous cycle.
For Apple, resource recycling not only reduces the dependence on primary mineral resources, reduces a lot of costs, but also reduces energy consumption and carbon emissions in the production process.
In addition, the Apple Transportation Card is available today with a new Earth Day themed card, which can be collected and used for free by iPhone and Apple Watch users in the app where the bus card belongs for a limited time of 365 days.
