As part of a groundbreaking sustainability initiative, Apple announced the removal of all leather iPhone cases and Apple Watch bands from its official website during the unveiling event held a few days back. The removal affected luxury accessories from the iconic Hermès collection. This bold move signifies Apple’s commitment to reducing its environmental footprint. Instead, they have introduced a revolutionary textile known as “FineWoven,” composed of 68% post-consumer content, making the Apple Watch Series 9 the company’s first fully carbon-neutral product.
