Apple announces plans to make all products from recycled materials

Apple just announced plans to close the loop and make all of its products from recycled materials. We tend not to realize how damaging our electronics are for the environment – from mining materials to the toxic effects when we dump them. Apple starting tackling these problems last year with its recycling robot, and now the electronics giant wants to only use recycled materials in its devices.
Apple recently released its latest environmental report, and in it, the company claims that it is working towards using recycled materials to create its next generation of products. This will happen, in part, by reclaiming and re-using old Apple devices. Obviously they aren’t there yet, but Apple has never been shy when setting goals.
Apple has been steadily shifting towards renewable resources. Its data centers all run on renewable energy, and it has partnered with or built its own solar and wind farms to generate the energy it needs. The company has also been recycling old devices, which saved Apple over $40 million in gold re-use alone.
