Material Efficiency
Apple’s ultracompact product and packaging designs lead the industry in material
efficiency. Reducing the material footpr
efficiency. Reducing the material footpr
int of a p
roduct helps maximize shipping
efficiency. It also helps reduce energy consumed during production and material waste
generated at the end of the product’s life. Waste is further minimized through the use of
batteries that last up to three times longer than typical notebook batteries. The 15-inch
MacBook Pro is made of aluminum and other materials highly desired by recyclers. The

Material Use for 15-inch MacBook Pro
Packaging
The packaging for the 15-inch MacBook Pro uses corrugated cardboard made from a
minimum of 25 percent post-consumer recycled content and molded fiber made entirely
from post-consumer recycled content. In addition, the packaging is extremely material
efficient, consuming 37 percent less volume than the original 15-inch MacBook Pro. The
following table details the materials used in its packaging.

Restricted Substances
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. The 15-inch MacBook Pro goes even further than
the requirements of the RoHS Directive by incorporating the following more aggressive
restrictions:

restrictions:
• Mercury-free display
• Arsenic-free display glass
• BFR-free
• Polyvinyl chloride (PVC)–free internal cables and power adapter DC cable
• PVC-free AC power cord for United States, Canada, Mexico, Colombia, El Salvador,
Guatemala, Panama, Peru, Puerto Rico, U.S. Virgin Islands, and Venezuela

Battery Design
The 15-inch MacBook Pro features a
breakthrough battery design that
dramatically improves its lifespan—up
to five years. So it uses just one battery
in the same time a typical notebook
uses three.
