We define freshwater as drinking-water quality, the majority of which comes from municipal sources and less than 5 percent comes from onsite groundwater sources. 2. Recycled water represents a key alternative water source. Our recycled water is sourced primarily from municipal treatment plants, with less than 5 percent from onsite treatment. Recycled water is primarily used for irrigation, make-up water in cooling, or toilet flushing. 3. Other alternative sources of water include rainwater and recovered condensate that is captured onsite. Water used for construction activities like dust control is not included in this total, and represents 13 million gallons of water used in fiscal year 2021. 4. Total does not include construction and demolition waste nor electronic waste. We’re refining our methodology for collecting this data and plan to include it in future years. We have also re-stated the total for 2018 without these categories of waste. 5. Responsible sourcing of wood fiber is defined in Apple’s Sustainable Fiber Specification. Since 2017, all of the virgin wood fiber used in our packaging has come from responsible sources.
