Mac Studio and the Environment
Mac Studio is designed to reduce environmental impact:7
Progress toward Apple 2030
More than 30% recycled content8
Over 35% of manufacturing electricity sourced from low-carbon electricity9
Over 30% emissions reduction against business-as-usual scenario as modeled by Apple10
Materials
100% recycled aluminum in the enclosure and thermal module chassis
100% recycled copper in multiple printed circuit boards
100% recycled gold in the plating of all Apple-designed printed circuit boards and multiple connectors
100% recycled rare earth elements in all magnets
100% recycled tin in the solder of multiple printed circuit boards

Over 35% of manufacturing electricity for Mac Studio is sourced from low-carbon electricity
ENERGY STAR® certified12
Waste
No established final assembly sites generate waste sent to landfill as part of Apple’s Zero Waste Program
Smarter chemistry13
Mercury-, BFR-, and PVC-free
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: M3 Ultra, 28-core CPU, 60-core GPU, 96GB unified memory, 1TB storage.
Apple Intelligence is available in beta on Mac models with M1 and later, with Siri and device language set to the same supported language, as part of a macOS Sequoia software update. Supported languages include English, French, German, Italian, Portuguese (Brazil), Spanish, Japanese, Korean, and Chinese (Simplified). More languages are coming over the course of the year, including Vietnamese. Some features may not be available in all regions or languages.
1GB = 1 billion bytes and 1TB = 1 trillion bytes; actual formatted capacity less.
Wi‑Fi 6E available in countries and regions where supported.
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.
Data accurate as of product launch.
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.
We estimate the percentage of electricity-related emissions in our manufacturing that is sourced from low-carbon electricity by attributing to our carbon model low-carbon energy procured by our suppliers in the prior fiscal year, based on the supplier manufacturing allocations at time of product launch. This calculation assesses the suppliers for Mac Studio. Included in this number is only low-carbon electricity that Apple or its suppliers have procured as part of Apple’s Supplier Clean Energy Program.
Carbon reductions are calculated against a product-specific business-as-usual scenario as modeled by Apple: 1) No use of clean electricity for manufacturing or product use, beyond what is already available on the latest modeled grid (based on regional emissions factors). 2) Apple’s carbon intensity of key materials as of 2015 (our baseline year for our 2030 product carbon neutrality goal). Carbon intensity of materials reflects use of recycled content and production technology. 3) Apple’s average mix of transportation modes (air, rail, ocean, ground) by product line and by region across three years (fiscal years 2017 to 2019) to best capture the baseline transportation emissions of our products.
Based on retail packaging as shipped by Apple. Breakdown of U.S. retail packaging by weight. Adhesives, inks, and coatings are excluded from our calculations of plastic content and packaging weight.

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.
