MacBook Pro and the Environment
Environmental impact
The 14-inch MacBook Pro is designed to reduce environmental impact:12
Progress toward Apple 2030
Apple 2030 is our commitment to be carbon neutral for our entire carbon footprint. Our plan to decarbonize products is rigorous and focuses on transitioning to low-carbon electricity, designing with recycled and low-carbon materials, and prioritizing lower-carbon ways of shipping products, like ocean freight.
Materials
The 14‑inch MacBook Pro (M4 Pro or M4 Max) is made with 35% recycled content and the 14‑inch MacBook Pro (M5) is made with 45% recycled content,13 including:
100% recycled aluminum in the enclosure
100% recycled rare earth elements in all magnets
100% recycled gold plating and tin solder in multiple printed circuit boards
100% recycled copper in multiple printed circuit boards and a thermal module component
90% recycled steel in the keyboard feature plate
Energy
45% of manufacturing electricity for the 14-inch MacBook Pro is sourced from low-carbon electricity14
ENERGY STAR® certified15
Packaging
100% fiber-based packaging16
Waste
No established final assembly sites generate waste sent to landfill as part of Apple’s Zero Waste Program17
Smarter chemistry18
All of the materials used in Apple products, accessories, and packaging are covered by the requirements of our Regulated Substances Specification, which was one of the first in industry to restrict the use of key substances of concern. See the latest Environmental Progress Report 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 | 1.3 (K V = 0.3) | 3 |
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, 10-core CPU, 10-core GPU, 24GB unified memory, 1TB storage.
Apple Intelligence is available in beta. Some features may not be available in all regions or languages. For feature and language availability and system requirements, see support.apple.com/121115.
The displays on the 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro have rounded corners at the top. When measured as a standard rectangular shape, the screens are 14.2 inches and 16.2 inches diagonally (actual viewable area is less).
In temperatures less than 25° C.
Testing conducted by Apple in September 2025 using preproduction 14-inch MacBook Pro systems with Apple M5, 10-core CPU, 10-core GPU, 24GB of unified memory, and 1TB 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 and configuration. See apple.com/batteries for more information.
1GB = 1 billion bytes and 1TB = 1 trillion bytes; actual formatted capacity less.
Price varies depending on storage capacity.
Wi-Fi 6E available in countries and regions where supported.
See support.apple.com/en-us/102596 for supported models.
Weight varies by configuration and manufacturing process.
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. iPhone Mirroring is not available in all countries and regions.
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. 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.
ENERGY STAR and the ENERGY STAR mark are registered trademarks owned by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
Breakdown of U.S. retail packaging by weight. Adhesives, inks, and coatings are excluded from our calculations of plastic content and packaging weight.
All established final assembly supplier sites — those that have been Apple suppliers for more than one year — for the 14-inch MacBook Pro are third-party verified as Zero Waste by UL LLC (UL 2799 Standard). UL requires at least 90% diversion through methods other than waste to energy to achieve Zero Waste to Landfill (Silver 90–94%, Gold 95–99%, and Platinum 100%) designations.
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.
