Apple has introduced a very unique product, a disassembly robot named Daisy, prior to Earth Day on April 22.
Daisy has the ability to disassemble up to 200 iPhones -- including nine versions of iPhone -- per hour and sort their components for recycling purposes.
Daisy was made using revolutionary technology based on Liam, (http://www.thejakartapost.com/life/2016/04/06/apple-bids-goodbye-to-plastic-says-hello-to-paper.html) the first disassembly robot that was launched back in 2016, and was created using some of Liam's parts.

Also to welcome Earth Day, Apple announced a giveback program that will run until April 30. Through this program, Apple users will be able to hand in their devices at any Apple stores or via its website to be recycled or traded in. The company will make a donation to non-profit organization Conservation International for each device given in.
“At Apple, we’re constantly working toward smart solutions to address climate change and conserve our planet’s precious sources,” said Lisa Jackson, Apple's vice president of environment, policy and social initiatives, in a press release. “In recognition of Earth Day, we’re making it as simple as possible for our customers to recycle devices and do something good for the planet through Apple GiveBack. We’re also thrilled to introduced Daisy to the world, as she represents what’s possible when innovation and conservation meet.” (wir/kes)
