iMac 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 iMac Product Environmental Report (PDF)
Materials
iMac is made with 15% recycled content,8 including:
100% recycled aluminum in the stand
50% recycled glass in the standard glass9
100% recycled gold plating in all Apple‑designed printed circuit boards
50% recycled plastic in multiple components9
100% recycled rare earth elements in all magnets
100% recycled tin solder in all Apple‑designed printed circuit boards
Packaging
100% fiber-based packaging10
Energy
ENERGY STAR® certified11
Smarter chemistry12
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 | 1.6 (K V = 0.3) | 7 |
Wireless web | 1.6 (K V = 0.3) | 7 |
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: M6, 10-core CPU, 10-core GPU, 16GB unified memory, 256GB storage.
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.
Included with iMac systems with 12‑core CPU.
Actual formatted capacity of SSD storage is less.
Wi-Fi 7 availability varies by country. For more information, visit support.apple.com/148165.
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.
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.
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.
