Apple pushes recycling of iPhone with 'Daisy' robot  | Sustainable Procurement & CSR News - ICT Industry | Scoop.it

Inside a nondescript warehouse on the outskirts of Austin, Texas, Apple’s Daisy robot breaks apart iPhones so that 14 minerals, including lithium, can be extracted and recycled.

Apple is already using recycled tin, cobalt and rare earths in some of its products, with plans to add to that list. The company last month bought the first commercial batch of carbon-free aluminum from a joint venture between Rio Tinto (RIO.AX) and Alcoa (AA.N).
