In addition to the support Apple provides for businesses, we also offer specific business to business (B2B) support services for our clients. Many of our clients have growing Apple ecosystems. We assist them in solving specific problems, navigating software, educating their teams and in creating custom solutions as needed. We are excited about this as it is a natural extension of work we are already doing.

This is particularly helpful in areas with limited Apple coverage in certain locations for a variety of reasons such as smaller population size, terrain and accessibility of workspaces. Currently, we are providing on-site support in the Miami area and nearby locations, Zurich and surrounding areas and to clients on site in Kensington, London. This is a new service as of May 2018. 

For more information, please contact us directly at business@elfproductions.com. Thank you!

City of Coral Gables Bans Use of Plastic Bags That End Up in Ocean

The city of Coral Gables, where our main office is located, has banned single-use plastic bags.

That is awesome! Plastic bags unfortunately often end up in the ocean so this measure is definitely helpful and preventative.

Now we would like to see just better recycling options in place everywhere. 

Apple Reinvents Key Manufacturing Process for Aluminum, A Primary Component for Its Products

Apple is transforming the way its products are manufactured by reinventing the process through which aluminum is made. Aluminum is a key component of Apple products. You can see it in everything from MacBooks to iMacs and iPhones. Altering the process of how this material is made to be more environmentally friendly will have a huge impact on manufacturing all over the world.

Conventional methods release carbon during the aluminum smelting process. A team of Apple engineers have created a new way of smelting, where oxygen instead is released. Working in close collaboration with two large aluminum companies, Alcoa Corporation and Rio Tinto Aluminum and the support of the United States and Canadian governments, the Apple team was successful in creating this new manufacturing method. The repercussions around the globe will be significant, as this removes a long-standing manufacturing process that released greenhouse gases.

We are very excited by this as well as Apple's overall commitment to the environment. Last month, Apple announced that its facilities and offices are all powered 100 percent by renewable energy.
