Apple’s annual environmental report gives us a tidy insight on how much raw material it gets when recycling our old phones and tablets. As it turns out, we’re almost worth our weight in gold (and steel… and glass).
If you’re curious, Apple pulled about 2,204 pounds of gold from recycled iStuff (and Macs!) last year. That’s a solid ton of gold, worth about $40 million.

Apple also yanked about 61 million pounds of steel, glass, aluminum and other miscellaneous materials from recycled devices.
