Apple is ramping up its environmental push, including the creation of a robot that is supposed to better disassemble iPhones for easier reuse.

Two years ago, the tech giant said it wanted to be 100 percent energy-renewable in its worldwide operations. Currently, 93 percent of its facilities run on renewable energy, said Lisa Jackson, Apple’s vice president of environment, policy and social initiatives. Jackson spoke Monday at the start of a product event at its headquarters in Cupertino, California.

While many on Twitter bemoaned this segment of the event today, I love hearing about Apple’s efforts to become more environmentally friendly. It’s really interesting to see them forge ahead, even in areas where it would be easy to throw their hands up and say they couldn’t solve the problem. The solar arrays on 800 rooftops in Singapore is a perfect example.
