Apple Commits to 100% Recycled Cobalt in Batteries by 2025.
TL;DR
Apple plans to use 100% recycled cobalt in its batteries by 2025 as part of its effort to go carbon neutral by 2030. The move comes after criticism of Apple's mining practices, which have been accused of fueling slavery and using child labor in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Cobalt is a key component in all of Apple's products, and more than 70% of the world's cobalt is mined in the DRC. Apple has significantly expanded the use of certified recycled cobalt over the past three years, making it possible to include in all Apple-designed batteries by 2025.
