difficult to recycle
Although Apple’s current leather and silicone cases have a lower carbon footprint than their counterparts, they are not made from any recycled material. Materials such as fluoroelastomer are also difficult to recycle due to their heat-resistant properties and strong structure. FineWoven will be Apple’s first next-generation material and will soon replace leather, but it could lead to a decline in silicone accessories.
