Apple 16GB ME179PY/A 사용자 설명서

Apple’s ultracompact product and packaging designs lead the industry in material 
efficiency. Reducing the material footpr

int of a p

roduct helps maximize shipping 

efficiency. It also helps reduce the energy consumed during production and material 
waste generated at the product’s end of life. The iPod touch enclosure is made of stainless 
steel, a material highly desired by recyclers. The chart below details the materials used 
in iPod touch.

iPod touch packaging is extremely material efficient, allowing more units to be 
transported in a single shipping container. The following table details the materials 
used in iPod touch packaging.

Apple has long taken a leadership role 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. iPod touch goes even further 
than the RoHS Directive by incorporating the following more aggressive restrictions:

•  Arsenic-free display glass

•  Mercury-free LED-backlit display

• BFR-free

• PVC-free

• 

Lithium-ion polymer

• 

Free of lead, cadmium, and mercury

The retail packaging for iPod touch consumes 
14 percent less plastic, 17 percent less volume, 
and is 16 percent lighter than the third- 
generation iPod touch packaging.
