For years, Apple has issued a message stating that they are doing everything possible to increase their recycling efforts, going so far as to argue that devices like the Apple Watch leave no ecological footprint in their manufacturing. However, a new report shows us a completely different story, since thousands iPhone perfectible functional, have been destroyed.
According to a new report by Bloomberg, Apple approved the destruction of thousands of iPhones. Here it is mentioned that GEEP, a Canadian company in charge of shredding electronic material, works together with the apple company to eradicate these electronic devicesand recently about 100 thousand units that were destined for complete annihilation disappeared, without some type of plan to reuse this material.
Of just over 530 thousand devices shipped by Apple, 99,975 were not recycled. This information comes to light, because the iPhone company has sued GEEP for $31 million Canadian dollars, because the almost 100 thousand devices have disappeared, and Bloomberg suggests that part of these products would have been reactivated by users in China.
However, Apple's lawsuit makes clear the contradictions about its image as a company in favor of recycling. An example of this is Daisy. In 2019, the American company revealed this disassembly system, which can dismantle, process and recover valuable materials at up to 200 units per hour. However, this is almost nothing of what the company produces.
In 2023 alone, Apple managed to sell more than 26,700 devices per hour. This means that Daisy is only capable of disassembling 0.7% of what the company produces.. Along with this, we must not forget the lawsuit issued by the European Union last year, where the company is accused of misleading advertising, specifically with regard to the fact that the Apple Watch leaves no ecological footprint in its manufacturing. .
Thus, It's clear that Apple is far from being the environmentally friendly company it claims to be. Whether the production of its devices substantially exceeds the tools for disassembly, or the fact that the company prefers to destroy units that work perfectly, there is no doubt that Tim Cook and his company are far from caring about the planet. On related topics, WhatsApp receives a redesign on iPhone. Likewise, the first third-party store comes to the App Store.
Author's Note:
It was more than obvious that Apple is not concerned about the environment. This is just a message that every company has to give. It's a fact that everyone has to come out for this these days, and not doing so only hurts their image, whether they actually do it or not.
