We are aware that Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), It claims to be a company especially committed to the environment, at least that is how they let us know every time they have the opportunity, something that has become especially important since the arrival of Tim Cook to the position of CEO at Lac ompañía de Cupertino.
However, The doubt now hangs over Apple's electronic waste policies and in the UK they believe that they do not deliver on their promises. Let's be honest, we don't know if Apple really takes the necessary measures or not, but what is a reality is that for now the iPhone charger and headphones have been snatched from us.
En The Guardian have carried out research work in which they question the commitment of companies such as Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), and Amazon with the environment:
Global giants like Amazon and Apple should take more responsibility to help select, recycle and repair their products to cut the 155.000 tonnes of e-waste they generate each year in the UK.
Much of these products end up in landfills and are incinerated or worse, end up in the seas. In fact, smartphones, tablets and other electronic products such as computers have a value of around 62.500 billion dollars despite being turned into garbage since they include precious metals such as gold, silver or titanium.
In short, according to The Guardian perhaps large companies invest more in publicity for their environmental acts than in their really applied acts. However, Apple claims to be a zero emissions company, but we do not know if that includes the hardware manufacturers that later assemble to assemble their products, or only refers to the CO2 produced by their offices or servers, which would be a lie quite curious. Be that as it may, we must all apply ourselves to the environment, and Apple more.
