Apple claims that its global activities are already carbon neutral. It now wants to have a net-zero climate effect for every Apple product sold by increasing its suppliers’ dependence on renewable energy. There are many other aspects to this dedication. Apple is supporting the use of recycled materials in its products, in addition to guaranteeing that its suppliers employ renewable energy. Apple claims to use recycled metals such as gold, cobalt, aluminium, and rare earth elements in their devices, among other things. This, as can be seen, reduces the need for carbon-intensive mining while also conserving resources.

Apple boasts that it is already carbon neutral throughout its worldwide operations and that every Apple gadget sold by 2030 will have a net-zero environmental effect.
