Ukuba ungomnye wabadala kwihlabathi le-Apple, uya kulikhumbula elo xesha xa USteve Jobs, ongasekhoyo owaseka i-CEO ye-Apple, akazange akholelwe kwanto xa babemxelela ngokurisayikilishwa, unakekele iplanethi okanye wenze izixhobo ezingeyongozi kangako kwindalo esingqongileyo.
Konke oku kwatshintsha ukutyhubela iminyaka de kwafika ixesha apho I-Apple ifake isicelo kwenye yezona nkampani zibalaseleyo okanye ezona zibalulekileyo malunga nokuhlaziywa kwakhona, ukuveliswa kwamandla kwimithombo yendalo kunye nokuveliswa kwezixhobo ezinekhabhoni ephantsi kunye neemveliso.
I-Apple ixhasa itekhnoloji entsha eluhlaza kunye ne-4.700 yeebhiliyoni zeedola kwiibhondi eziluhlaza
Kule meko, inkampani yeCupertino isandula ukubhengeza utyalo-mali lwe-4.700 yezigidi zeedola kwiibhondi eziluhlaza ukuqhuba uphuhliso lwemveliso entsha enekhabhoni ephantsi kunye nobuchwepheshe bokurisayikilisha. Kule meko, zintathu iibhondi eziluhlaza ukusuka kunyaka odlulileyo we-2016 ezijoliswe kwiiprojekthi kunye notyalo-mali oluvumela ukunciphisa ukukhutshwa kunye nokubonelela ngamandla acocekileyo emhlabeni jikelele. Njengenxalenye yeli nyathelo, i-Apple ithenga i-aluminiyam engenakhabhoni kulandela impumelelo kwitekhnoloji ye-Foundry eyehlisa izinto ezikhutshwayo. Le aluminium yeyokuqala ukuveliswa kwinqanaba lemizi-mveliso ngaphandle kwelabhoratri ngaphandle kokuvelisa ukukhutshwa kwekhabhoni ngokuthe ngqo ngexesha lenkqubo yokunyibilikisa. Inkampani iceba ukusebenzisa ezi zinto kwi-iPhone SE ngokunjalo.
U-Lisa Jackson, usekela mongameli wezeNdalo, uMgaqo-nkqubo kunye namaNyathelo eNtlalo e-Apple uthe oku kulandelayo:
E-Apple, sizimisele ukushiya ihlabathi lingcono kunokuba silifumene, kwaye iibhondi eziluhlaza zisisixhobo esibalulekileyo kumanyathelo ethu okusingqongileyo. Utyalo-mali lwethu luqhuba itekhnoloji eguqukayo evumela ukuba sinciphise unyawo lwekhabhoni kwizinto esizisebenzisayo, ngakumbi ngoku njengoko sitshintshela kusetyenziso olukhethekileyo lwemathiriyeli enokuphinda isetyenziswe kunye nokuhlaziywa kuzo zonke iimveliso zethu ukugcina imithombo yeplanethi enesiphelo.
I-Apple ityale i-4.700 yeebhiliyoni zeerandi ukuze isondele ngakumbi kwinjongo yayo yokuphumeza ukungathathi hlangothi kwekhabhoni kuwo wonke ukubonelela kwayo ngo-2030. Iibhondi zayo zokuqala eziluhlaza, ezikhutshwe kwi-2016 kunye ne-2017, ngoku zinikezelwe ngokupheleleyo. Kwaye i-2019 enye ixhasa iiprojekthi ze-50, kubandakanywa nemveliso ye-aluminium ephantsi kwekhabhoni. Ezi projekthi zingama-50 ziya kuphelisa okanye zinciphise ukukhutshwa kweetoni ezi-2.883.000 ze-CO2e, kwaye ziya kuvumela ukufakelwa kwe-megawatts ephantse ibe yi-700 yamandla ahlaziyekayo kwihlabathi jikelele. kwaye iya kuba negalelo kuphando nakuphuhliso lobugcisa bokurisayikilisha.
