Apple prides itself on being environmentally focused and is continuously working to reduce its environmental footprint. According to Apple’s 2018 Environment Responsibility Report released today, the company is focusing on climate change, resources, and safer materials.
The biggest stride from over the past year is that Apple now runs all of its operations on 100 percent renewable energy.
The company says that it uses a combination of renewable resources including solar and wind to reduce its footprint. Apple says approximately 66 percent of the renewable energy it produces is from projects that Apple created and manages itself.
It also talks about what it plans to do in the future to sustain its 100% renewable energy efforts.
This extends to the products that Apple sells to customers as well. For example, the latest generation MacBook Pros use 61% less energy than the previous generation. The HomePod while playing music, consumes less power than the average LED lightbulb. And of course, Apple has been trying to reduce its footprint when it comes to the box your devices come in.
Some other small tidbits include pushing the company’s supply chain to become more environmentally friendly and that Apple’s products are built for durability and recyclability.
Earlier today, Apple announced its new Daisy disassembly bot that is more efficient than its predecessor, Liam.
