A hardcore, true-to-the-bone Apple fanatic would know that since GreenPeace
blasted the tech giant for its non-environmental ways of producing and selling
an iPad (and other iDevices and Mac products as well), the tech giant has devised
ways to lessen their carbon footprints and save the Earth all while letting the
whole world and the media know about their efforts. Indeed, it’s just pure
genius. One of their devised ways to promote recycling is by including the
Recycling tab on their website which features solutions to Apple product owners
and the environmental steps the tech company is making through green products. Their
current recycling initiative is a bomb. Since 1994, 115,504 metric tons of
Apple products were recycled in the world which amounts to more than the weight
of an aircraft carrier. But still, only 13.6 percent of all electronics
produced are recycled, this leaves us with one question: Is recycling an iPad
really helpful or not?
The Official iPad BuyBack
One of the iPad maker’s green
thumb ways is to ask people for their old electronics, especially Apple products. They call this the Apple Reuse and Recycling Program and it is now
being offered in almost 95 percent of all countries where the tech giant’s
products are being sold. Currently, the iDevice genius company is recycling and
selling an iPad not only in America but also in Canada, Europe, the Middle
East, Africa, Asia Pacific and even in Latin America. They even have
state-specific programs for people who live in Missouri, North Carolina, Texas,
Oklahoma and Virginia. The key process in this program is that Apple tries to
collect old iDevices such as iPads, Apple TVs, iPhones, MacBooks and other
products including Mac notebook batteries from their customers and estimates the
shipped devices for its value. Once the estimates are done, the IT company mails
the customer a Gift Card to be used in their retail stores, app stores, and
online stores.
The good thing about this move is
that it enables the IT company to be virtually closer to their customers by
letting their fans be a part of their environmental initiatives. However, this
doesn’t prove to be a very profitable deal for the customer because, what else
will you be able to do with an Apple GC? The fact is that most people didn’t
knoaw about this program and it’s got so many restrictions. First, the GC amount
you’ll get is based on the value of your iDevice. Also, your GC is under so
many policies and restrictions on the App Store that you probably won’t like it
and would want to sell your iPad for cash instead. You also won’t be able to
convert you GC for cash so you’ll be loaded with so many apps you’ll start to
hate Apple.
The Alternative iPad BuyBack
If you really want to get
something out of your old iPad, I’d rather tell you to sell your iPad for cash
to other refurbishment sites like Cash for iPads. These refurb sites buy iPads in
any condition and also pay in cold hard cash. Yes, I know what you’re thinking.
