Clean energy adoption

• Apple today announced its manufacturing partners now support


over 13 gigawatts of renewable electricity around the world, a
nearly 30 percent increase in the last year. In total, more than 250
suppliers operating across 28 countries are committed to using
renewable energy for all Apple production by 2030. This represents
more than 85 percent of the company’s direct manufacturing spend
and more than 20 gigawatts in commitments.
Already carbon neutral for its global corporate emissions, Apple
uses innovative tools to support progress toward its ambitious
2030 goal to be carbon neutral for every product. This includes $4.7
billion in Green Bonds, which are helping finance the expansion of
clean energy solutions and emissions reductions around the world.
Apple today shared details of its Green Bond spend for 2022, which
includes investments in large-scale solar, low-carbon design, energy
efficiency, and carbon removal.
Recyclable iPhone design
• Apple today released new details on the increased use of recycled
content across its products. For the first time, the company
introduced certified recycled gold, and more than doubled the use
of recycled tungsten, rare earth elements, and cobalt. Nearly 20
percent of all material used in Apple products in 2021 was recycled,
the highest-ever use of recycled content. Apple today announced
its newest recycling innovation, Taz, a machine that uses a
groundbreaking approach to improve material recovery from
traditional electronics recycling. In 2021, 59 percent of all the
Aluminium Apple shipped in its products came from recycled
sources, with many products featuring 100 percent recycled
Aluminiumin the enclosure. Apple has also made significant
progress toward the company’s goal to eliminate plastics from its
packaging by 2025, with plastics accounting for just 4 percent of
packaging in 2021. Since 2015, Apple has reduced plastic in its
packaging by 75 percent.
