"Apple's new iPhone Air contains more recycled titanium than any of its predecessors, the company announced at the Tuesday Keynote. It's using 80 percent recycled titanium. The phone as a whole is made with 35 percent recycled material by weight, compared to 30 percent recycled material for the iPhone 17. The company's latest lineup of watches also boast higher proportions of recycled content."
"Both the Apple Watch Ultra 3 and Apple Watch SE 3 are made up of 40 percent recycled content, with 100 percent recycled cobalt in the battery. The Ultra 3 case is made with 100 percent recycled titanium, and Apple says that an "innovative 3D printing process" allowed it to cut down the amount of raw materials used in the case by half compared to previous iterations. The Apple Watch SE 3 case is made with 100 percent recycled aluminum."
The iPhone Air uses 80 percent recycled titanium, making it Apple's most recycled-titanium iPhone. The phone is composed of 35 percent recycled material by weight, up from 30 percent in the iPhone 17. The Apple Watch Ultra 3 and Apple Watch SE 3 each contain 40 percent recycled content overall, with batteries using 100 percent recycled cobalt. The Ultra 3 case is made from 100 percent recycled titanium, and an "innovative 3D printing process" halved raw material needs for the case compared with previous iterations. The SE 3 case uses 100 percent recycled aluminum. Increasing recycled material use reduces mining pollution and environmental risks and complements designs that extend product longevity.
