If it is that when we talk about Apple we have to admit that they do not stitch without thread and it is that the recycling robot that was presented in the Keynote on March 21 with which they justified that they helped the environment recovering many of the materials that are used in the manufacture of apple devices, It seems that it recovers much more things than we could imagine.
Certain parts of the circuits that are mounted in products such as the iPhone, iPad or Mac have a certain amount of gold, which is recovered by Liam, in the case of the iPhone and by others similar in the case of the rest of devices manufactured by Apple.
Right now we are seeing that Apple has an environmental awareness campaign underway at the hands of WWF and certain developers. The App for Earth campaign consists of all in-app purchases that exist in the applications that have been prepared as well as 100% of the value of the applications, if they are paid, will be used for environmental causes.
So far everything is very nice, but let's go back to Liam, the robot that Apple uses and of which it is very proud. In the case of this robot, it is so accurate that is capable of recovering even the smallest part of a device, among which is the small amount of gold that is used to coat certain parts of the circuits since it has low resistance to electricity and, unlike copper, does not corrode.
The number of materials that Apple has recovered reaches the chilling amount of 27 thousand tons of steel, glass, aluminum and other materials among which we can give special attention to gold and that is have managed to recover a ton of this precious metal (30 milligrams of gold in each iPhone), that if we convert it to dollars we will have a result of almost 40 million, a figure that justifies and much the existence of Liam. On the other hand, if we analyze the recovered copper, we have that this year it would have recovered more than 1300 tons of copper with a market value of more than 6 million.
Therefore, Apple was not only presenting us with a robot that is going to help the environment, it is a robot that is going to give them many, but many benefits to themselves. and is that the garbage of some is money for others. What do you think?
