That sounds about as serious as this article from Vice. It's just click-bait.
The worst thing they found (as far as I can see) is that the government required Apple to have a recycling program. What a horrible thing the first article was hiding from us.
- Symbiote 11y agoThe point is, that every manufacturer in the USA has a recycling program, as required by law. Why does Apple's press release get published as news?
- ktRolster 11y agoThat's a fair point, but it's not a lie like the article asserts.
- awinder 11y agoBecause one way of making new things is to take two existing things and combining them into some new arrangement. It's pretty much humanity in a nutshell. So they took "the us govt requires companies of a certain size to set up recycling programs", combine it with "Apple sells a lot of stuff", and bingo, you've got "apple recycles a ton of stuff" as a new story. It's kinda lazy, but it's low hanging fruit.
- Symbiote 11y agoSo, can we expect "Dell recycles a lot of stuff" next week, and HP the week after, followed by Sony? Dell have an equivalent page: http://www.dell.com/learn/us/en/id/corp-comm/us-goodwill-reconnect?c=us&l=en&s=corp&cs=id http://www.dell.com/learn/us/en/id/corp-comm/us-goodwill-rec...
