Smarter chemistry15
Apple 2030 is our commitment to be carbon neutral for our entire carbon footprint. Our plan to decarbonize products is rigorous and focuses on transitioning to low-carbon electricity, designing with recycled and low-carbon materials, and prioritizing lower-carbon ways of shipping products, like ocean freight.
100% recycled aluminum in the enclosure and trackpad gel plate
100% recycled cobalt and 95% recycled lithium in the battery
100% recycled gold plating in all Apple-designed printed circuit boards and all connectors
100% recycled rare earth elements in all magnets
100% recycled tin solder in all Apple-designed printed circuit boards
90% recycled steel in the keyboard feature plate and trackpad beam
50% of manufacturing electricity for MacBook Air is sourced from low-carbon electricity11
ENERGY STAR certified12
100% fiber-based packaging13
All of the materials used in Apple products, accessories, and packaging are covered by the requirements of our Regulated Substances Specification(PDF) opens in new tab, which was one of the first in industry to restrict the use of key substances of concern. See the latest Environmental Progress Report(PDF) opens in new tab to understand Apple's recent efforts in phasing out these chemistries.
