Our first priority is to recover any of 71% iPad Air where we haven’t yet, we’re moving to low-carbon our own scrap at high quality. Then, to augment this, we Switching to recycled and suppliers and technology innovations to further look to other postindustrial and postconsumer sources for low-carbon aluminum has decarbonize. In 2015, aluminum represented over a high-quality recycled aluminum, which emits less carbon decreased our carbon quarter of our product manufacturing footprint. Since than newly mined materials. And we’re expanding our emissions associated with then, we’ve continued to introduce 100 percent recycled sourcing to include postconsumer recycled aluminum aluminum by 71 percent All these products aluminum in the enclosures of Apple products: All iPad from building and construction scrap that meets the high since 2015. Read more contain 100% recycled models in our lineup use 100 percent recycled aluminum standards that our products require. These emissions about how we plan to address emissions from our aluminum enclosures in their enclosures — joining Apple Watch Series 8, reduction efforts have reduced our aluminum-related customers’ use of Apple Apple Watch SE, MacBook Air, Mac mini, and the 14-inch emissions by 71 percent since 2015 and now represent products on page 24 . and 16-inch MacBook Pro computers. In addition, the less than 8 percent of our product manufacturing new Studio Display contains a 100 percent recycled footprint, compared with 27 percent in 2015. aluminum stand, and the Mac Studio enclosure and Apple TV thermal module both contain 80 percent recycled In 2022, we began shipping products with certified aluminum. And with iPhone 14, we’ve increased recycled recycled steel and expanded our use of certified recycled IPAD content by using recycled CNC chips with Apple’s gold — two materials that typically have significant strongest aluminum alloy for the first time. carbon footprints. We introduced certified recycled steel for the first time in the MacBook Air with M2 chip, which For products shipped in 2022 that had enclosures has 90 percent recycled steel in the battery tray. And we made with primary aluminum, we prioritized the use significantly expanded the use of certified recycled gold MacBook Pro Apple Watch SE of aluminum smelted using low-carbon sources of in our products — from the gold plating on the main logic (14-inch and 16-inch) electricity rather than fossil fuels, for a lower carbon board on iPhone to other product main logic boards and impact. We also shipped iPhone SE enclosures that flexible printed circuit boards — increasing recycled gold contained ELYSIS aluminum, which was smelted without content from 1 percent in 2021 to approximately 4 percent generating greenhouse gas emissions (see page 26 for across all product lines in 2022. more information).
