Apple products contain nearly 20% of recycled materials

According to Apple’s 2022 Environmental Progress Report, the company detailed how much progress it has made in recycling production materials– nearly 20% of its materials are recycled resources.

In a 128-page document, the silicon valley firm sold itself as an environment-friendly product maker. It added that it had doubled its recycled tungsten, rare earth metals, and cobalt use.

Also, as part of its pledge to improve the environment, Apple will feature Earth Day content in Apple News, Apple Books, Apple Podcasts, and the Apple TV app on 22 April 2022, which happens to be Earth Day. Additionally, it will support an interactive AR experience on Snapchat focused on learning more about Daisy, Apple’s recycling robot.
