Apple Eco Milestone: Recycled MacBook, Zero Waste Store, Water Savings

Apple highlighted new progress toward its 2030 carbon-neutral goal, including eliminating plastic from packaging, using 100% recycled cobalt in Apple-designed batteries, and replenishing more than half of its corporate water use. The initiatives reinforce the company’s ESG positioning and sustainability commitments, but the announcement is largely incremental and unlikely to materially move shares on its own.
