Through ultra-efficient design and use of highly recyclable materials, Apple has 
minimized material waste at the product’s end of life. In addition, Apple offers and 
participates in various product take-back and recycling programs in 95 percent of the 
regions where Apple products are sold. All products are processed in the country or 
region in which they are collected. For more information on how to take advantage 
of these programs, visit www.apple.com/recycling.

 Estimated emissions are calculated in accordance with 

guidelines and requirements as specified by ISO 14040 and ISO 14044. Calculation 
includes emissions from the following life-cycle phases contributing to Global Warming 
Potential (GWP 100 years) in CO

e): 

• 

Includes the extraction, production, and transport of raw materials and 

the manufacture of the product, as well as product packaging.

• 

 Includes air and sea transportation of the finished product and its 

associated packaging from the manufacturing site to continental distribution hubs. 
Transport of products from distribution hubs to the end customer is not included.

• 

 End-user power consumption assumes a three-year period. Product 

use scenarios are modeled on data that reflects intensive daily use of the product. 
Geographic differences in the power grid mix have been accounted for at a 
continental level.

• 

Includes transportation from collection hubs to recycling centers, and the 

energy used in mechanical separation and shredding of parts.

The energy-efficiency values for the iPad 10W USB Power 

Adapter are based on the ENERGY STAR Program Requirements for Single Voltage 
External AC-DC and AC-AC Power Supplies Version 2.0. For more information visit
