Apple is also involved in other areas that are seemingly unrelated to technology as such. For two years now, the Cupertino company has been cooperating with the forest protection fund, while cares for approximately 36 acres of forests in Maine and North Carolina. This ambitious project seems to be paying off, with more than 13 tonnes of timber harvested in both states last year.
Apple in 2015, he purchased more than 32 acres of forest on the Mattawamkeag River in Maine, as well as over 400 acres of pine forest in Brunswick, North Carolina. From the beginning, the company planned that the extracted wood would go to the production of paper used in the production of equipment packaging.

The North Triangle Business Journal published statistics Wednesday showing that harvested wood in 2016 was able to cover 30 percent of the paper material needed to make packaging. Roughly 13 tons of wood were processed into fibers, which were then used to make boxes, bags and other packaging materials. Apple at the same time, it created more than 30 new jobs in the Brunswick region. He needed workers for prospecting, mining preparation, harvesting, planting, and other side jobs. 1 workers are needed for every 000 acres.
Trees also had to be planted to ensure sustainability. 185 trees were planted in the Brunswick forest, specifically longleaf pines and Atlantic white cedars. Both of these tree species provide shelter for rare butterflies.
Vice President of Environment, Policy and Social Initiatives in the company Apple –Lisa Jackare - she shared the story of this project on TwitterWhen the Cupertino company announced its first forestry initiatives in 2015, Lisa Jackson and Larry Selzer, the fund's president and CEO, wrote a letter describing the project. "Apple is convinced that paper will serve as a renewable resource. It will strive to supply 100% of its own resources to manufacture its packaging,” the letter said.
