Last year, Apple made a bold announcement that it would turn carbon neutral across its entire business, manufacturing supply chain, and product life cycle by 2030, 20 years ahead of the target set by the Intergovernmental Panel for Climate Change (IPCC).
In that order, the company later in the year in September reduced 70-percent of the contents including the Earpods and charging adaptors in the product’s retail package. This did not just the apply to latest iPhone 12 series, but also all old iPhone, Watch and iPad variants being sold from October 2020.
Apparently, this would help the company cut down on the environmental impact due to mining minerals for making iPhones and components and thus reduce 2 million metric tons of carbon annually.
