SAN FRANCISCO:Apple is expecting more cooperation with China on clean energy as it released its 2019 Environment Report that outlines its climate change solutions ahead of Earth Day, which falls on April 22. Apple said 44 of its suppliers have committed to 100% renewable energy for their production of Apple products, Yonhap news agency reported late on Thursday. Among them, "the majority of clean supply chain, clean energy suppliers are in China in terms of both attaining the clean energy goal and cooperation in the use of safer materials and smarter chemistry", Lisa Jackson, Apple's vice president of Environment, Policy and Social Initiatives, said at a recent event promoting the company's environment initiative. In response to a question over whether Apple is planning to deploy the Daisy robot system in Asia, especially in China, Jackson said Apple is looking at unique recycling solutions in China "because we have manufacturers there". "I would expect that we're going to have some unique recycling solutions for China, and that would be great," Jackson added.
