Environment

Our planet deserves
our best thinking.

Innovation is up.
Emissions are down.

Were closer than ever to Apple2030: our ambitious, science-based goal to become carbon neutral across our global footprint. Our aim is to reduce our greenhouse gas emissions by 75% compared with 2015, before balancing the remaining emissions starting with nature-based solutions that adhere to rigorous international standards.

A comprehensive approach.
From design to disassembly.

Designed,
sourced
and
made to last.

We design our products with the environment in mind. That starts by using recycled and responsibly sourced materials.

MacBookNeo.
Our lowest-carbon MacBook ever.

60%recycled content overall, the most of any Apple device.2
50%less aluminium to manufacture the enclosure using a forming process compared with traditional machining.
70%water reuse rate during anodisation of the enclosure.

Packaging and shipping
that delivers.

To reduce emissions were designing more compact packaging and using lower-carbon modes of transport where possible.

Use. Recover. Reuse.

Making products that last and can be recycled at their end of life helps protect the earths precious resources.
