EV and sustainability YouTube channel Fully Charged Show got to tour one of Apple’s recycling facilities that’s using Daisy. As a refresher, last year Apple shared that it can recycle up to 200 iPhones per hour making it capable of 1.2 million iPhones per year.
Now we’ve got another in-depth look at how Daisy works, how it helps reduce mining, improvements from Liam 1 and 2 (Daisy’s predecessors) like punching screws, freezing and busting out batteries, sorting iPhone modules, and much more.
Apple says iPhone is now 20% made from recycled materials and the goal is that eventually all new iPhones will be made from 100% recycled materials.
Additionally, Apple shared it is making as much of the recycling intellectual property as possible open source so other companies can take advantage of its advancements.
