There’s obviously a huge array of materials that go into phones and computers, and Apple’s recycling announcement isn’t just about cobalt. So for the newsletter this week, let’s dive into Apple’s recycling pledge. I think this announcement says a lot about where the battery recycling industry is and where it’s going. Last week Apple announced that its batteries would use 100% recycled cobalt beginning in 2025. The good news is, as I’ve written about before, a growing number of groups are working to make sure batteries get recycled-and some of those efforts are becoming mainstream. All these problems are starting to balloon as we use lithium and assorted other materials not just in our phones and laptops, but in electric vehicles as well. Mining the metals that make up those batteries can mean a lot of pollution, as well as harmful conditions for workers.
