A detailed approach.
From design to disassembly.
-
Design our products with recycled and renewable materials.1
Our Approach
Recycled and renewable materials often carry a lighter footprint than mined materials. By sourcing more recycled and renewable content, we can help to one day end our reliance on mining.
Our Progress
22% of the materials we shipped in Apple products came from recycled and renewable sources.2
-
Source all manufacturing electricity from clean energy.
Our Approach
Most of our carbon footprint comes from the electricity used to manufacture our products. So our suppliers are transitioning to electricity generated from solar, wind and other renewable sources.
Our Progress
Over 320 of our suppliers have already committed to using 100% renewable electricity by 2030.*
-
Package and ship our products with fewer emissions.
-
Match 100% of our products’ energy use with clean electricity.5
Our Approach
We’re investing in global renewable energy projects that help address the electricity our products use. And we’re making these products even more energy efficient.
Our Progress
We’re matching 100% of the expected electricity use for Apple Watch models by investing in projects like the IP Radian Solar project.6
-
Maximise the materials we recover from recycled products.
