In context
“., we believe powerful innovation and uncompromising quality can go hand in hand with sustainability. Over the last year, we have reached new milestones in the environment, including the use of recycled content in 30% of the materials in all of our products shipped in 2025, the most we have ever had. That includes the use of 100% recycled cobalt in all Apple-designed batteries and 100% recycled rare earth elements in all magnets. We have also achieved our goal of removing plastic from packaging, with every Apple Inc. product now shipping in fiber-based packaging. All of this is a testament to the outstanding, forward-thinking, and innovative work of our teams. We are also making great progress in advancing American supply chain innovation, as part of our $600 billion commitment to the US. We were pleased to share recently that Mac mini production is coming to America later this year, expanding our factory operations in Houston with a brand new facility. In March, we were thrilled to welcome four new companies to our American manufacturing program to help manufacture essential materials and components for Apple Inc. products sold worldwide. These include sensors that support key iPhone features like camera stabilization and integrated circuits essential for features like crash detection and activity tracking. These efforts build on the progress we have made in the American program, including the work we are doing to advance an end-to-end silicon supply chain across the US. At TSMC’s Arizona facility, for example, Apple Inc. is on track to purchase well over 100 million advanced chips. As we are accelerating our long-standing support for US innovation, we are also investing in America’s workforce. We are looking forward to opening the door”
