I appreciate the new Studio Displays’ focus on recyclability
source: apple.com ↗From today’s press release on Apple Newsroom for Studio Display and Studio Display XDR:
Both are made with recycled content, including 100 percent recycled aluminum in the stand and 80 percent recycled glass in the standard glass option. Studio Display and Studio Display XDR are designed to be durable, repairable, and also offer industry-leading software support, while meeting Apple’s high standards for energy efficiency and safe chemistry. The paper packaging is 100 percent fiber-based and was designed to collapse so it can be easily recycled.
The majority of the display being recycled glass is a first in an Apple product, and it’s fantastic to see such a large panel given this treatment (even though it will obviously have much lower unit sales compared to more popular, small-screened devices). The 100 percent fiber-based packing being made collapsible so it easily fits in the bin is also a nice touch. The attention to these very small details is how the company will likely reach their goal of being carbon neutral across its entire footprint by 2030.
