Isn’t most of the components in MacBooks recyclable? If I remember correctly, Apple has a recycling program for old Macs so it’s not like these machines goes to landfill when their past their time or broken.
- peatmoss 5y agoI believe Apple tries to use mostly recyclable components. And they do have a fairly comprehensive set of recycling / trade-in programs around the globe: https://www.apple.com/recycling/nationalservices/ https://www.apple.com/recycling/nationalservices/ That being said, I haven’t read any third-party audits to know if this is more than Apple marketing. Would be curious if they live up to their own marketing.

Do people really think that companies like Apple et al (who have a huge number of people following them eager to rip into them at ever opportunity) could get away with a "marketing story" like that? Like, really, Apple just making all that up and _not one single person_ whistleblowing on it if it were a lie?
- iSnow 5y agoAFAIK their recycling is shredding everything, no matter if it still works and separating gold and some other metals.
- threeseed 5y agoWhen you trade-in your Mac you are asked if the enclosure is free of dents, turns-on, battery holds charge etc. Strange that they would ask these questions if they were simply going to shred the device.
