Environmental policy & environmental management
An environmental policy and environmental management system (EMS) demonstrates the commitment, purpose,
objective and mission of a company. Apple has established an internal EMS, and has certified its facilities in
Sacramento, CA, Ireland, and Singapore to ISO 14001.
Environmentally conscious design
Environmentally conscious design is the systematic approach of identifying and incorporating product features and
functions with respect to environmental, health and safety objectives throughout all stages of a product’s life. Apple
has established a process where we address these issues in the design, development, manufacture, use, and end-
of-life of our products.
Banned/restricted materials
Some materials that have traditionally been used in electronic products have been determined to be environmental
or health hazards. The use of these materials has been banned or restricted by legislation or eco-labels.
Apple uses rechargeable batteries to provide power for notebooks, develops power management software and
energy saving features to obtain maximum efficiency, and avoids batteries that contain lead, cadmium and/or
mercury.
The use of energy-efficient products results in savings in energy costs and the reduction of pollution resulting from
the generation of electricity. Apple promotes energy conservation in its product design and performance including our
participation in the ENERGY STAR® program and no-load power consumption programs such as the EU Code of
Conduct for external power supplies, and the U.S. Federal Energy Management Program. The energy data listed
reflects standard configurations only. Other configurations may yield different energy values.
Acoustical noise is becoming an increasingly important concern to computer users. It affects user comfort and
performance, and it may become disruptive and annoying to the user or others in the work environment. For these
reasons, Apple is concerned and designs our products to generate acoustical noise levels as low as possible.
Apple products are tested and certified to international standards to assure the safe use of our products.
Electrical Safety, EMC, and connection to telephone network
The safe use of Apple products is of foremost concern. Therefore, Apple tests and certifies our products to
international standards to assure their safe use.
Visual ergonomics is an important concern to computer users. It affects user comfort and performance. Apple
designs, tests and certifies our displays to meet stringent visual ergonomics (front of screen) criteria. In addition, our
displays have the capability of tilting and swiveling to adjust to user needs.
Packaging and documentation
Apple evaluates the environmental attributes of our packaging for hazardous materials as well as the minimization of
the quantity and weight of the packaging materials. These considerations enable and promote recycling of
packaging materials for our customers.
Apple designs its products with specific features and functions that promote the ease of recyclables. In addition, in
specific countries, Apple has established takeback/recycling programs to assist customers.
