In order to reduce carbon emissions, Apple’s products use low-carbon and renewable materials. For example, the body of iPad, MacBook Air, Mac Mini and the case of Apple watch are made of 100% renewable aluminum, and the touch engine of iPhone is made of 100% renewable rare earth elements. The robot Dave is specially used to disassemble the touch engine of the iPhone to better recover rare earth elements. The robot Daisy is mainly responsible for the disassembly and classification of equipment components.
In addition to redesign and renewable materials, Apple has also improved the packaging of its products. For example, the packaging tray of iPhone 7 is changed from plastic to molded fiber; All plastic shopping bags in offline retail stores are also changed to 100% renewable fiber. If primary fiber must be used, Apple will also purchase wood from responsible forest management. At the same time, Apple cooperated with the US Conservation Foundation and WWF to protect and optimize the management of 400000 hectares of artificial forests in the United States and China.
In addition, Apple cooperates with governments, enterprises, non-governmental organizations and consumers around the world to strengthen environmental protection by implementing various policies and transitioning to clean energy.
As an old saying goes, “everyone is responsible for protecting the environment”. Apple’s contribution to environmental protection deserves our praise. Of course, Our domestic manufacturers have also made efforts for environmental protection.
Huawei’s environmental protection philosophy is to promote clean, efficient and low-carbon recycling. In terms of products, in order to protect the environment, Huawei mate 30 series uses plain leather as the back shell for the first time. At the same time, Huawei has built a recycling system around the world to recycle used electronic products such as mobile phones and tablets, so as to reduce the environmental pollution caused by electronic equipment. In addition, Huawei Bracelet 4E gave up plastic materials and replaced it with a new generation of renewable fibers. Huawei uses recycled plastics as raw materials to produce renewable fibers through chemical, physical and textile processing methods.
Xiaomi has a deep research in product packaging. In order to protect the environment as much as possible, Xiaomi has designed a packaging box called one paper box, which only needs a piece of cardboard or corrugated cardboard, and can be made by folding. In this process, no auxiliary materials such as glue are needed, and the packaging box does not have any filler. This design reduces the cost by 40% compared with the traditional packaging box, and avoids waste caused by excessive packaging.
Meizu launched the mcycle environmental recycling plan in 2015. Mcycle takes the approach that Meizu takes the lead to promote the tripartite cooperation among mobile phone manufacturers, recycling websites and environmental protection factories, from publicity to online and offline recycling portals, and then to environmental protection treatment, forming a complete mobile phone environmental protection recycling industry chain. Driven by Meizu, domestic mobile phone manufacturers OPPO and VIVO have also launched their own mobile phone environmental protection recycling projects.
The earth’s environment needs every one of us to protect, and enterprises should play a leading role. Therefore, we hope that domestic manufacturers can do more environmental protection projects, and we should also improve our environmental awareness. After all, “the earth is our home, and environmental protection still depends on everyone”.
