Recycle. Reuse. Repeat.
Innovation in conservation.
Our disassembly robots — Daisy, Dave, and Taz — recover crucial materials like gold, cobalt, tungsten, and rare earth elements from recycled iPhone devices, so they can be used to make new ones.
More recycled content? Naturally.
We’re significantly expanding the use of key recycled metals in iPhone batteries, magnets, and circuit boards. Case in point: Our latest models contain 95 percent recycled lithium in the battery cathode — a first for Apple.7
Apple Trade In.
When you’re ready to buy a new iPhone, you can trade in your current iPhone or Android device and apply any credit toward your purchase. If your device isn’t eligible for credit, we’ll recycle it for free.
Planet-worthy packaging.
For the first time, iPhone packaging is 100 percent fiber based.8 And there’s no plastic wrap in or around the box.
On track to carbon neutral.
Our stores, offices, and data centers are already carbon neutral. By 2030, Apple will be carbon neutral across our entire carbon footprint.
