Amassing story comes from Apple and includes gold

Many relevant web portals writing about Apple and gold recycling process this company is using.

Did you know that Apple recovered one ton of gold by recycling iPhones just in one year?

By stripping down old iPhones, iPads and Macbooks, Apple recovered huge quantities of precious metals. Apple has revealed it reclaimed almost one metric tonne of gold by recycling its own products in 2015. At current prices, that's equivalent to around £28 million worth of gold. This is not quantity you can expect by collecting electronic devices but it could be good motivation story.

These valuable materials were reclaimed through the Apple Renew scheme, which lets customers hand in their worn-out Apple devices in exchange for money off future Apple purchases. Some of the recycling is done by Apple's line of prototype 'Liam' robots, which are designed to take apart old Apple devices while detecting and separating their valuable elements. Electronics companies don't put gold in their devices just to be extravagant - the metal is used in computer components because it's an excellent conductor, and doesn't tend to corrode or oxidize in the same way as copper or aluminum. The Environmental Report also revealed other areas in which Apple is trying to reduce its carbon footprint - the sleek packaging for the iPhone 6S is 20 per cent lighter and 34 per cent smaller than the box the first-generation iPhone came in. Additionally, all of the company's data centers - which power services like iMessage, Siri and FaceTime - run on renewable energy, and Apple's carbon emissions have fallen every year since 2011, from 137.2kg of CO2 per product to 114.2 in 2015.

These reports could give us a clue of gold quantity inside Apples devices. If you are thinking of this business seriously take a time to calculate worth of old Apples devices. Hope you will find this post interesting and useful for starting gold recycling business.
