Apple announced it would use 100 percent recycled cobalt 1 in all Apple-designed batteries by 2025.
After significantly expanding the use of 100 percent certified recycled cobalt over the past three years, it’s now possible for the company to include recycled cobalt in all Apple-designed batteries by 2025.
Only a quarter of all cobalt could in Apple products came from recycled material as of 2022, up from 13 percent the previous year.
Additionally, by 2025, magnets in Apple devices will consist entirely of recycled rare earth elements, and all Apple-designed printed circuit boards will use 100 percent recycled tin soldering and 100 percent recycled gold plating.
Apple’s use of 100 percent certified recycled rare earth elements has greatly expanded from 45 percent in 2021 to 73 percent in 2022.
Innovation has also driven progress toward Apple’s 2025 commitment to eliminate plastics from the company’s packaging.
To eliminate the remaining 4 percent of the plastic in its packaging footprint, Apple is innovating to replace labels, lamination, and other small uses.
