Recycling

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/.

Definitions

Electronic Product Environmental Assessment Tool (EPEAT):

A program that ranks

computers and displays based on environmental attributes in accordance with IEEE 1680.
For more information, visit www.epeat.net.

Greenhouse gas emissions:

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

equivalency factors (CO

e):

•

Production:

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

manufacture of the product, as well as product packaging.

•

Transport:

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.

•

Use:

User power consumption assumes a four-year period. Consumption patterns

are modeled according to European Commission and U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency computer eco-design studies. Geographic differences in the power grid mix
have been accounted for at a continental level.

•

Recycling:

Includes transportation from collection hubs to recycling centers and the

energy used in mechanical separation and shredding of parts.

Energy eﬃciency terms:

The energy values in this report are based on the ENERGY

STAR Program Requirements for Computers Version 5.2 and/or ENERGY STAR Program
Requirements for Single Voltage External AC-DC and AC-AC Power Supplies Version 2.0.

•

Off:

Lowest power mode of the system when the battery is fully charged and the

system is shut down. Also referred to as Standby.

•

Idle

—

Display on:

System is on and has completed loading Mac OS X; the display is

set to its full brightness.

•

Idle

—

Display off:

System is on and has completed loading Mac OS X; the display is

set to sleep.

•

Sleep:

Low power state that is entered automatically after 10 minutes of inactivity

(default), or by selecting Sleep from the Apple menu. Wake-on-LAN is enabled.

•

Power adapter, no-load:

Condition in which the power adapter is connected to AC

power, but not connected to the system.

•

Power adapter eﬃciency:

Average of the power adapter’s measured eﬃciency when

tested at 100 percent, 75 percent, 50 percent, and 25 percent of the power adapter’s
rated current.

Restricted substances:

Apple defines a material as BFR-free and PVC-free if it contains

less than 900 parts per million (ppm) of bromine and of chlorine.

1. Energy Eﬃcient Ethernet requires a compliant switch to enter low-power mode.

2. PVC-free AC power cord available in the United States, Canada, Mexico, Colombia, El Salvador, Guatemala,

Panama, Peru, Puerto Rico, U.S. Virgin Islands, and Venezuela.

3. 15-inch MacBook Pro achieved a Gold rating from EPEAT in the United States and Canada.
