See the iPadAir Product Environmental Report (PDF)

Progress towards Apple2030

Apple 2030 is our commitment to be carbon neutral for our entire carbon footprint. Our plan to decarbonise products is rigorous and focuses on transitioning to lowcarbon electricity, designing with recycled and lowcarbon materials and prioritising lowercarbon ways of shipping products, like seafreight.

See Apples commitment

iPadAir is made with 30% recycled content,13 including:

  • 100% recycled aluminium in theenclosure
  • 100% recycled cobalt and 95% recycled lithium in thebattery
  • 100% recycled gold plating and tin solder in all Apple-designed printed circuitboards
  • 100%recycled gold wire in all cameras and gold plating in allconnectors
  • 100% recycled rare earth elements in all magnets
  • 80% recycled steel in the Apple logo

Energy

  • 40% of manufacturing electricity for iPadAir is sourced from renewable electricity14
  • ENERGY STAR certified15

Packaging

  • 100% fibre-based packaging16

Waste

  • No established final assembly sites generate waste sent to landfill as part of Apples Zero Waste Programme17

Smarter chemistry18

All of the materials used in Apple products, accessories and packaging are covered by the requirements of our Regulated Substances Specification, which was one of the first in industry to restrict the use of key substances ofconcern. See the latest Environmental Progress Report to understand Apples recent efforts in phasing out thesechemistries.

  1. Actual formatted capacity is less and varies due to many factors. Storage capacity is subject to change based on software version, settings and iPad model. 1GB = 1billion bytes; 1TB = 1trillion bytes.
  2. Size and weight vary by conguration and manufacturing process.
  3. AppleIntelligence is available in beta. Some features may not be available in all regions or languages. For feature and language availability and system requirements, see support.apple.com/en-gb/121115.
  4. FaceTime calling requires a FaceTime-enabled device for the caller and recipient and a WiFi connection. Availability over a mobile network depends on provider policies; data charges may apply.
  5. WiFi7 available in countries and regions where supported. Data plan required for cellular connections. 5G, Gigabit LTE, and WiFi calling are available in selected markets and through selected network providers. Speeds are based on theoretical throughput and vary based on site conditions and network. For details on 5G and LTE support, contact your provider and see apple.com/uk/ipad/cellular.
  6. Data plan sold separately. The model you purchase is congured to work with a particular mobile network technology. Check with your network provider for compatibility and data plan availability.
  7. Not all network providers supporteSIM. See your provider for more details. For Models A3463 and A3464, contact China Unicom for more details.
  8. Siri may not be available in all languages or in all areas, and features may vary by area. Internet access required. Mobile data charges may apply.
  9. Testing conducted by Apple in January and February 2026 using pre-production iPad Air 11inch (M4) and iPad Air 13inch (M4) units. Testing consisted of full battery discharge while performing each of the following tasks: video playback and internet browsing using WiFi or mobile data network (cellular models subscribed to LTE and 5G networks). Video content was a repeated 2-hour 23-minute movie purchased from the iTunes Store. Internet over WiFi and mobile data network tested by browsing 20 popular web pages. All settings were default except: WiFi was associated with a network (except for internet browsing over mobile data network); the WiFi feature Ask to Join Networks and Auto-Brightness were turned off; Brightness was set to 50%; and WPA2 encryption was enabled. Battery life depends on device settings, usage, network and many other factors. Battery tests are conducted using specific iPad units; actual results may vary.
  10. Apple Invites, AppleSupport and SwiftPlaygrounds are available on the AppStore for iPad. Downloading apps requires an Apple Account and a device that is compatible with the OS version required for eachapp.
  11. Wireless broadband recommended; fees may apply.
  12. Data accurate as of product launch.
  13. Product recycled or renewable content is the mass of certified recycled material relative to the overall mass of the device, not including packaging or inbox accessories.
  14. We estimate thepercentage of electricity-related emissions in our manufacturing that is sourced from low-carbon electricity by attributing to our carbon model low-carbon energy procured by our suppliers in the prior fiscal year, based on the supplier manufacturing allocations at time of product launch. This calculation assesses the suppliers for iPadAir. Included in this number is only low-carbon electricity that Apple or its suppliers have procured as part of Apples Supplier Clean Energy Programme.
  15. ENERGY STAR and the ENERGY STAR mark are registered trademarks owned by the US Environmental Protection Agency.
  16. Breakdown of US retail packaging by weight. Adhesives, inks and coatings are excluded from our calculations.
  17. All established final assembly supplier sites those that have been Apple suppliers for more than one year for iPadAir are third-party verified as Zero Waste by UL LLC (UL 2799 Standard). UL requires at least 90% diversion through methods other than waste to energy to achieve Zero Waste to Landfill (Silver 9094%, Gold 9599% and Platinum 100%) designations.
  18. Apples Regulated Substances Specification describes Apples restrictions on the use of certain chemical substances in materials in Apple products, accessories, manufacturing processes, and packaging used for shipping products to Apples end customers. Restrictions are derived from international laws or directives, regulatory agencies, eco-label requirements, environmental standards and Apple policies. Every Apple product is free of PVC and phthalates except for AC power leads in India, Thailand (for two-pin AC power leads) and South Korea, where we continue to seek government approval for our PVC and phthalates replacement. Apple products comply with the European Union Directive 2011/65/EU and its amendments, including exemptions for the use of lead such as high-temperature solder. Apple is working to phase out the use of these exempted substances for new products where technically possible.
