MacBook Pro and the Environment
Progress toward Apple 2030
Apple 2030 is our goal to be carbon neutral across our value chain. We design our products to be less carbon intensive by prioritizing the use of recycled and renewable content and low-carbon materials while focusing on the energy efficiency of our software and hardware.
See the 16-inch MacBook Pro with PROLED XDR Display Product Environmental Report (PDF)
Materials
The 16‑inch MacBook Pro with PROLED XDR Display is made with 55% recycled content,13 including:
100% recycled aluminum in the enclosure
100% recycled cobalt and 95% recycled lithium in the battery
100% recycled copper in multiple thermal module components
100% recycled gold plating and tin solder in all Apple-designed printed circuit boards
100% recycled rare earth elements in all magnets
80% recycled steel in multiple components including the keyboard feature plate
Packaging
100% fiber-based packaging14
Energy
ENERGY STAR® certified15
Smarter chemistry16
All of the materials used in Apple products, accessories, and packaging are covered by the requirements of our Regulated Substances Specification (PDF), which was one of the first in industry to restrict the use of key substances of concern. See the latest Environmental Progress Report (PDF) to understand Apple’s recent efforts in phasing out these chemistries.
Acoustic Performance
Declared noise emission values in accordance with ECMA-109
Sound Power Level L W A,m (B) | Sound Pressure Level Operator Position L p A,m (dB) | |
|---|---|---|
Idle | 1.2 (K V = 0.3) | 4 |
Wireless web | 1.3 (K V = 0.3) | 4 |
L W A,m is the mean A-weighted sound power level, rounded to the nearest 0.1 B.
L p A,m is the mean A-weighted sound pressure level measured at operator position (rounded to the nearest 1 dB).
1 B (bel) = 10 dB (decibel).
K v is the statistical adder for computing upper-limit of A-weighted sound power level.
The quantity, L W A,c (formerly called L W Ad) may be computed from the sum of L W A,m and K v .
The wireless web test browses 6 tabs with a mix of content including media.
Configuration tested: M5 Max, 18-core CPU, 40-core GPU, 64GB unified memory, 4TB storage.
Actual formatted capacity of SSD storage is less.
Screen size is 14.2 inches (14-inch MacBook Pro with PROLED XDR Display) and 16.3 inches (16-inch MacBook Pro with PROLED XDR Display). Measured diagonally as a standard rectangular shape. Actual viewable area is less due to rounded corners.
In temperatures less than 25° C.
Testing conducted by Apple in September 2026 using preproduction 16-inch MacBook Pro with PROLED XDR Display systems with Apple M5 Max, 18-core CPU, 40-core GPU, 48GB of unified memory, and 8TB SSD, and preproduction 16-inch MacBook Pro with PROLED XDR Display systems with Apple M5 Pro, 18-core CPU, 20-core GPU, 48GB of unified memory, and 2TB SSD. Wireless web battery life tested by browsing 25 popular websites while connected to Wi-Fi. Video streaming battery life tested with 1080p content in Safari while connected to Wi-Fi. Display brightness set to 8 clicks from the bottom and keyboard backlight was off. Battery life varies by use, configuration, and environmental factors. See apple.com/batteries for more information.
Enabled by compatible third-party hardware and software.
The medical imaging presets are intended only for non-diagnostic reviews, research, and educational purposes.
Wi-Fi 7 availability varies by country. For more information, visit support.apple.com/148165.
See support.apple.com/en-us/102596 for supported models.
Weight varies by configuration and manufacturing process.
iPhone Mirroring is not available in all countries and regions. Some iPhone features (e.g., camera and microphone) are not compatible with iPhone Mirroring.
Apple Intelligence is available with Siri and device language set to Chinese (Simplified), Chinese (Traditional), Danish, Dutch, English, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Norwegian, Portuguese, Spanish, Swedish, Turkish, or Vietnamese. Some features may not be available in all regions or languages. Some devices may not be available in all regions. Siri AI is available in beta in macOS 27 and requires an Apple Intelligence–enabled device set to a supported language. Available in English, French, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, and Spanish to start. Siri AI will not be initially available in the EU on iOS, iPadOS, and watchOS. Siri AI is not available for users under 13. Certain Apple Intelligence features that rely on server-side models are subject to daily usage limits, including but not limited to Siri AI, Intelligent Photo Editing Tools, Image Playground, and AFM 3 Cloud models in Shortcuts. Daily limits may vary by feature, request complexity, system demand, system policies, and other factors. Expanded access to such features will be available for a fee in the future. Use of these features is subject to the Apple Intelligence Terms and Conditions. Learn more at support.apple.com/148587.
iMovie, GarageBand, Pages, Numbers, and Keynote are available on the Mac App Store. Downloading apps requires an Apple Account and a device that is compatible with the OS version required for each app.
Product recycled or renewable content is the mass of certified recycled material relative to the overall mass of the device, not including packaging or in-box accessories. Recycled and renewable plastic content calculation includes mass balance allocation.

Apple’s Regulated Substances Specification describes Apple’s restrictions on the use of certain chemical substances in materials in Apple products, accessories, manufacturing processes, and packaging used for shipping products to Apple’s 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 cords in India, Thailand (for two-prong AC power cords), 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.
