She said, "In the spirit of Earth Day, we are working with our partners to maximize the potential of recycled materials, reduce environmental impact, and protect our planet."
Apple CEO Tim Cook posted today, "This year, we welcome new recycling robots Dave and Taz to help us recover precious materials like tungsten and rare earth elements from iPhones, aiding in the creation of the next generation of Apple products."
Pulsestacks previously reported that the Dave robot is capable of dismantling the Taptic Engine of an iPhone to better recover core materials such as rare earth magnets and tungsten. It can also recover steel materials. Compared to another iPhone dismantling robot, Daisy, Dave excels in this regard.
Taz is a machine that utilizes a crusher-like function to separate magnets from audio modules using new technology, allowing for the recovery of more rare earth elements.
Today is Earth Day, and the Apple Transit Union Card has unveiled a new Earth Day-themed card face. iPhone and Apple Watch users can claim and use it for free within the transit card's associated app, with the design available for a limited time of 365 days.
