Apple continues its commitment to sustainability with the launch of the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus, reducing their carbon footprint by 30% compared to earlier models. This achievement is in line with Apple's 2030 goal of carbon neutrality, reports esgnews.com.
"We've reduced emissions for the iPhone 16 Plus by 30 percent compared to normal," the company announced.
The iPhone 16 case is made from 85% recycled aluminum, which reduces the product's emissions by 8%. The device also uses 100% recycled tungsten and rare earth elements in the magnets, with Apple targeting 100% recycled cobalt in batteries by 2025.
iPhone 16 packaging is now 100% fiber-based, plastic-free, except for coatings and inks. This change is an important part of Apple's pledge to remove all plastic from packaging by 2025.
Greener supply chain
Apple is also pushing suppliers to switch to low-carbon electricity, which already accounts for more than 30% of manufacturing energy. The switch to renewable energy has reduced product emissions by 20%, reinforcing Apple's commitment to a greener supply chain.
Apple's continuous efforts to improve product longevity and the use of recycled materials demonstrate their commitment to sustainability.
