Your comment is so incredibly divorced from reality. Plastic doesn't grow on trees either. Its production has huge impacts on the environment. Aluminum is highly and easily recyclable. In fact Apple makes their MacBook enclosures from 100% recycled aluminum. No other computer manufacturer can make the same claim regarding the production of their plastic body notebooks. The idea that plastic can be infinitely recycled…

In all of those examples you provided none of them meet the same criteria.

Apple's entire macbook line, both Air and Pro, have bodies made from 100% recycled aluminum.

The examples you provided, it's 50% recycled plastics or 75% recycled aluminum or 80% over-all or if 100% recycled aluminum is used it's only for some of their product lines.

Given all of that: I never said other companies aren't trying, and I'm not dismissing their efforts. I just said they can't make the same claim. Additionally, when it comes to recycling those plastic bodies the infrastructure just isn't there like it is for aluminum.

> Every brand out there is greenwashing its name...

I'm glad they're doing it, even if it's just to improve their brand image and not out of actual concern for the environment.
