New Apple lab uses robots to rip apart devices for recycling materials Apple Inc is notorious for keeping what happens in its laboratories a closely guarded secret.
Apple said Thursday that it will open a “Material Recovery” lab to investigate new techniques using robotics and machine learning to rip apart its devices and recover valuable materials such as copper, aluminum and cobalt. The 9,000-square-foot lab will be at the same Austin facility as “Daisy,” an Apple-built robot that can now tear apart iPhones at the rate of 1.2 million per year.
Lisa Jackson, Apple’s vice president of environment, policy and social Initiatives, told Reuters the research will inform how Apple designs its products. Apple has faced criticism in the past that its thin-and-light product designs make it hard to disassemble products so they can be recycled.
