Adopt recycling and renewable Design with materialsproductone
Our initiatives
Recycled and renewable materials tend to have a smaller carbon footprint than mined materials.Adopt moreMore recycled and renewable ingredients will make us get rid ofMiningDependency.
Our progress
24% of the materials of Apple products shipped come from recycled or renewable materialstwo。
All production power From renewable energy
Our initiatives
Because our carbon footprint mainly comes from theElectricity consumption,Therefore, our suppliers are actively switching to renewable energy sources such as solar energy and wind energyElectricity.
Our progress
Our suppliers have adopted nearly 18 gigawatts of renewable energy in 2024, avoiding nearly 22 million tons of greenhouse gas emissions.
Adopt lower carbon emission Product packaging and logisticsmode
Our initiatives
In order to remove plastic components from packaging, one of our measures is to continue to increase the use of fiber materialsthreeThe package we designed for Apple Watch Series 10 is about 10% smaller than Apple Watch Series 9, which enables each freight pallet to accommodate more goods and improves transportation efficiency.
Our progress
Since September 2024, more than 98% of our packaging has used fiber materialsfour。
100% clean power Offset productsenergy consumptionfive
Our initiatives
We invest heavily in renewable energy projects around the world to deal with the power consumption problem of our products when charging and using.In addition, we are constantly improving the energy efficiency of our products.
Our progress
We invest heavily in solar and wind projects around the world to 100% offset the estimated power consumption of users when using Mac mini and specific Apple Watch meterssix。
Materials in recycled products， We make the best use of everything。
Our initiatives
We have developed several technologies, such as the dismantling robot Daisy, to recyclecruxThe material then circulatesUse.
Our progress
In 2024, we further expanded the functions of Daisy. Now it can disassemble 36 iPhone models into parts, helping us recycle more materials for recycling.
Your device can bring more value
Recycle and dispose of idle Apple devices and accessories， Protect the precious resources of the earth。
Our lineup of carbon neutral products has been further expanded,Apple Watch Series 10 and Mac mini NewListedseven。
Since 2015, our overall carbon footprintThe carbon dioxide equivalent has been reduced by more than 60%.
Through the supplier's clean energy project, we successfully avoided21.8 million tons of carbon dioxide emissionsEquivalent.
Among the products shipped in 2024,24% of materialsAll from recycling and renewableraw materialtwo。
In 2024, there will be15.9 million pieces of equipmentAnd accessories to find a new ownerUse.

The product itself isDemonstrative evidence
All kinds of innovative thinking are not only used to create your favorite products, but also used to practice our commitment to environmental protection. All items in the design DurableProduct,We also use more sophisticated chemical processes to ensure that the product During assembly, use and recycling It is safer for everyone.
Apple Watch is an important milestone for us to reach the goal of Apple 2030sevenIt proves that we can design, manufacture and transport excellent products while taking into account the protection of the earth's environment.Any form of Apple Watch Series 10, Apple Watch Ultra or Apple Watch SE can be carbon neutral.
Inside and outside, Many recycled ingredientsmore.
iPhone 16
In order to achieve the goal of using recycled or renewable materials to manufacture products, we give priority to 15 kinds of materials that have an impact on the environment and society, such as aluminum, lithium and gold.These 15 materials account for 87% of the total weight of our products shippedabove.
On iPhone 16:
Recycled aluminum accounts for 85% of the fuselage
The proportion of regenerated lithium used by Apple in batteries exceeded for the first time95%fifteen
All cameras and camera control parts adopt 100% recycled gold wire
The plating of multiple printed circuit boards, USB-C interfaces and multiple small parts adopts 100% recycled gold
Disassembly and recovery
Daisy makes a move, Make the best use of your old iPhone.
Cooperation and common progress,Make the world a better place.
To treat the earth well is to treat people living on the earth well, especially those who are deeply affected by environmental risks.We are committed to Partners and communities around the world provide support because it is possible to work together rather than alonemore.
Eliminate the carbon footprint, Be natural to us however.
Eliminate the carbon footprint,It's natural for us.
While continuously reducing the carbon footprint, we also invest heavily in high-quality carbon removal projects based on nature to offset the current unavoidableDischarge.
In cooperation with Goldman Sachs and Conservation International Foundation, we have set up a pioneering Restore Fund, which seeks to eliminate carbon emissions in the atmosphere and bring financial returns through investment in projects to restore forests, wetlands and grasslands.
Restore Fund has invested in three high-quality forestry management institutions.Our first project is located in Paraguay. Through the investment in Arbaro Advisors, we strongly support them to develop sustainable productive forests and create opportunities for local communities.We also cooperate with Symbiosis to help them plant native broad-leaved trees and restore the biodiversity of Brazil's Atlantic forests.We also joined hands with BTG Pactual Timberland Investment Group to support their efforts to restore forests and protect natural ecosystems in Brazil.
In 2023, we announced the expansion of the Restore Fund, committed to invest as much as $200 million and put it under the management of Climate Asset Management, a joint venture between HSBC and Polination.In 2024, our important manufacturer partners, Taiwan Integrated Circuit Manufacturing Co., Ltd. (TSMC) and Murata Manufacturing also joined the ranks, with an additional investment of 80 million dollars.

Protect water resources, For the future of the earth Think about it.
Protect water resources,Think about the future of the earth.
Water is one of the most precious resources on the earth.In order to protect water resources, we not only focus on our own enterprise footprint, but also go deeper into the communities and water basins where the whole supply chain operates.
99% of our overall water footprint comes from suppliers.Through the supplier's clean water project, we help train suppliers to better reuse and recycle water resources.Thanks to this cooperation, the participating suppliers' reuse and recycling water rate in the factory has reached 42%, which can reduce the amount of fresh water extracted by billions of gallons every year.

More renewable Electricity, application More convenient.
More renewable power,The application is more convenient.
We are taking active action to promote the popularization of renewable electricity in the world.Because clean energy is good for everyone, our community and the environment.
Our Power for Impact initiative provides local communities and organizations with access to cost-effective energy, while supporting their economic development and promoting social change.We support projects all over the world, including South Africa, the Democratic Republic of the Congo and the Philippines, to help provide cleaning for communities facing urgent needsEnergy.
