To accurately measure a company’s environmental footprint, you must look at the
impact that company’s products have on the planet. Apple uses comprehensive life
cycle analysis to determine exactly where our greenhouse gas emissions — all 10.2
million metric tons of them1 — come from.

From the glass, plastic, and metal in our products to the paper
and ink in our packaging, our goal is to continue leading the
industry in reducing or eliminating environmentally harmful
substances.
The greatest environmental challenge facing our industry
today is the presence of arsenic, brominated flame retardants
(BFRs), mercury, phthalates, and polyvinyl chloride (PVC) in
products. In keeping with our philosophy over the last decade,
Apple is not waiting for legislation to ban these substances.
Not only is every Mac, iPod, and iPhone free of PVC2 and BFRs,
we are also qualifying thousands of components to be free of
elemental bromine and chlorine, putting us years ahead of
anyone in the industry. In addition, all MacBook Pro models
feature displays with mercury-free backlighting and arsenic-
free glass.

That means 50% more boxes fit on each shipping pallet, more pallet fits on each boat and plane, and fewer boats and planes are
used - resulting in fewer CO2 (Carbon-di-oxide) emissions.

That is why Apple, Inc designs all products as energy efficiency as possible. MacMini uses as little as a quarter of the power
consumed by a typical power consumed by a light bulb - making it the most energy efficient desktop computer in the world.
Because Apple designs both the hardware and software required for this kind of smart power management, we are able to increase
the efficiency of every product we make.Apple is the only company in the industry whose entire desktops and notebook product
lines meets the strict energy efficiency requirements set by the EPAs ENERGY STAR Program.

Apple recycling programs.
Apple has instituted recycling programs in 95 percent of the countries
where our products are sold, diverting more than 83 million pounds of
equipment from landfills since 1994. In 2008, Apple recycled 33 million
pounds of electronic waste, achieving a worldwide recycling rate of 41.9
percent — our best ever. (To calculate this rate, we use a measurement
proposed by Dell that assumes a seven-year product lifetime. The weight
of the materials we recycle each year is compared to the total weight of
the products Apple sold seven years earlier.) We are committed to
achieving an industry-leading recycling rate of 50 percent by 2010.

Energy use.
Apple reduces energy use in our facilities in a number of ways. We have
installed energy-efficient lighting and added motion sensors for automatic
shutoff, saving over two million kilowatt-hours of electricity since 2006. We
used enough renewable energy in 2008 to power our entire Austin facility
and 25 percent of our Cork facility free from conventional grid power —
eliminating thousands of metric tons of CO2e emissions. By the end of
2009, both our Cork and Elk Grove facilities will operate entirely on
renewable energy. And, of course, we use energy-efficient Apple computers
in all our facilities.
