Apple Is Now Forcing Its Suppliers to Go 'Green' (afr.com)
Apple is already running on 100% green energy, according to Fast Company. But Apple is still "keen to show it's a good corporate citizen," reports the Australian Financial Review:
Apple's annual supplier responsibility report released on Thursday revealed 20 manufacturing supplier facilities had been removed from the company's supply chain for breaches of environmental permits or workplace rules. "Smelters and refiners deeper in our supply chain are held to similar standards and if they exhibit a lack of commitment to meet our supplier code of conduct, they risk losing Apple's business," the report said...
In 2018, Apple completed 770 audits of its supplier manufacturing facilities, logistics and repair centres and contact centre facilities. There were also 279 third-party mineral smelter and refiner audits conducted... Apple's 13th annual supplier responsibility progress report said all final assembly points for iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Watch, AirPods and HomePod, were now certified zero waste to landfill, while conserving billions of litres of water and reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
Apple's suppliers in 45 countries have diverted 1 million tonnes of garbage in three years, saved 28.7 gigalitres of water and reduced greenhouse gas emissions by more than 466,000 annualised metric tons, which is the equivalent to taking 100,000 cars off the road for one year.

Where do you think the used broken parts went?
Why my broken butterfly keyboard went to keyboard heaven where it was upgraded into a legendary IBM Model F bucking spring keyboard by the great cable monster in the sky who then sold it to you.
Fuckin mac enthusiasts. Buy glass and steel versions of tiger repelling rocks and rely on anecdotal based reasoning.
Why, yes, you are quite right, I am an Apple enthusiast and I will freely admit that I fuck frequently and find this activity immensely enjoyable. If you are tired of your existence as an embittered incel hermit I can only recommend you join the Apple collective and get laid.
You seem to be interpreting every single figure of speech in this thread literally. Are you autistic, or German?.
No I'm a pretty large and hairy Scandinavian cave troll.
Gosh, you're clever.
I know ;-) ...
