["'What we've committed to is 100 per cent recycled material to make our products, or renewable material,' Apple's vice president of environment, policy and social initiatives, Lisa Jackson, told news.com.au. 'We're working like gangbusters on that.'"]  News.com.au 8:43 AM

Or perhaps it would be more accurate to say that both views are incomplete." Tech.pinions 8:32 AM
