Apple 2.8GHz MC915FN/A Benutzerhandbuch

Through efficient design, Apple has created a product with fewer parts. Mac Pro is not 
only easy for recyclers to disassemble, it’s also designed to minimize the use of plastic 
and maximize highly recyclable aluminum and steel. The chart below details the 
materials used in Mac Pro.

The packaging for Mac Pro is almost entirely recyclable and is made with a minimum 
of 35 percent post-consumer recycled content. The following table details the materials 
used in its packaging.

Apple has long taken the lead in restricting harmful substances from its products and 
packaging. As part of this strategy, all Apple products comply with the strict European 
Directive on the Restriction of the Use of Certain Hazardous Substances in Electrical and 
Electronic Equipment, also known as the RoHS Directive. Examples of materials restricted 
by RoHS include lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, and the brominated 
flame retardants (BFRs) PBB and PBDE. Mac Pro goes even further than the requirements 
of the RoHS Directive by incorporating the following more aggressive restrictions:

• BFR-free

• Polyvinyl chloride (PVC)–free internal cables

By designing the Mac Pro interior with a more 
efficient layout, Apple engineers were able to 
remove 6 feet of internal cables, resulting in 
improved recyclability and reduced material 
consumption.
