Environmental Report
Apple and the Environment
Apple believes that improving the environmental performance of our business starts
with our products. The careful environmental management of our products throughout
their life cycles includes controlling the quantity and types of materials used in their
manufacture, improving their energy efficiency, and designing them for better
recyclability. The information below details the environmental performance of
iPod nano as it relates to climate change, energy efficiency, material efficiency, and
restricted substances.

Climate Change
Greenhouse gas emissions have an impact on the planet’s balance of land, ocean, and
air temperatures. Most of Apple’s corporate greenhouse gas emissions come from the
production, transport, use, and recycling of its products. Apple seeks to minimize
greenhouse gas emissions by setting stringent design-related goals for material and
energy efficiency. The chart below provides the estimated greenhouse gas emissions
for iPod nano over its life cycle.*
