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 Apple’s commitment

Materials

  • 100% recycled aluminum in the enclosure base of Apple HomeView

  • 100% recycled aluminum in the enclosure of Apple HomeView (Wall Mounted)

  • 100% recycled copper in all Apple-designed printed circuit boards

  • 100% recycled gold wire in the camera

  • 100% recycled gold plating and tin solder in all Apple-designed printed circuit boards

  • 100% recycled rare earth elements in all magnets

Packaging

  • 100% fiber-based packaging13

Smarter chemistry14

  1. Size and weight vary by manufacturing process.

  2. FaceTime calling requires a FaceTime‑enabled device for the caller and recipient and a Wi‑Fi connection.

  3. Spatial Audio works with compatible content in supported apps. Not all content is available in Dolby Atmos.

  4. Sound Recognition may detect smoke and carbon monoxide alarm sounds and send you notifications when recognized. Sound Recognition should not be relied upon in circumstances where you may be harmed or injured, or in high-risk or emergency situations. It requires all Apple devices that access the home to be using the latest software.

  5. Requires multiple AirPlay‑compatible speakers with the latest AirPlay software.

  6. 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 HomeView software version 27.2. Personal context requests require a paired Apple Intelligence–enabled iPhone or iPad running the latest software version with Siri AI turned on and set to a supported language. Certain Apple Intelligence features that rely on server-side models are subject to daily usage limits. 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.

  7. Expressive voices are available on iPhone 18 Pro, iPhone 18 Pro Max, iPhone Duo, iPhone 17 Pro, iPhone 17 Pro Max, iPhone Air, and iPad models with M4 and later and at least 12GB of unified memory.

  8. Available in English (Australia, Canada, UK, U.S.). Devices must support and have the latest operating system.

  9. Wi-Fi 6E available in countries and regions where supported.

  10. Peer-to-peer AirPlay requires a compatible Mac, iPhone, or iPad with the latest operating system software.

  11. Compatible with HomeKit- or Matter-enabled Thread accessories only.

  12. Temperature and humidity sensing is optimized for indoor, domestic settings, when ambient temperatures are around 15º C to 30º C and relative humidity is around 30% to 70%. Accuracy may decrease in some situations where audio is playing for an extended period of time at high volume levels. Requires some time to calibrate the sensors immediately after starting up before results are displayed.

  13. Breakdown of U.S. retail packaging by weight. Adhesives, inks, and coatings are excluded from our calculations.

  14. 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.
