Apple’s 2025 environmental progress report shows an ambitious trajectory towards full carbon neutrality by 2030. The company has already reduced its global emissions by more than 60% and continues to innovate in recycled materials, renewable electricity, clean energy and low-emission transport.
Key Environmental Strategies:
- Recycled and renewable materials: 24% of materials used in Apple products shipped in 2024 come from recycled or renewable sources.
- Renewable electricity for production: Apple and its suppliers generated 18 gigawatts of renewable energy in 2024, avoiding close to 22 million tonnes of greenhouse gases.
- Low-emission shipping and packaging: Products delivered in 100% fibre packaging, prioritising maritime and rail transport.
- Clean energy for device use: Apple offsets device energy consumption worldwide through clean energy investments.
- Advanced recycling technology: The Daisy robot dismantles components from 36 iPhone models to recover valuable materials.
- Waste and resource management: Programmes have prevented 3.6 million tonnes from landfill, restored 60,000 hectares of certified forests and saved 50 billion litres of water in a single year.
For the Healthcare Sector: Apple devices used in patient care meet strict chemical and environmental standards. Hospitals and clinics benefit from Apple’s recycled materials and zero-waste programmes.
For the Government Sector: Apple’s carbon neutrality vision offers public bodies proven models for responsible IT infrastructure. Government offices and smart cities benefit from efficient hardware and centralised resource management.
For Education and Business: Schools, universities and businesses improve their brand image and promote responsible resource management through Apple devices. Apple devices reduce the total cost of ownership and support sustainable organisational goals.
Apple’s progress on climate action is transforming standards in business, education, healthcare and government. Choosing Apple is not only a commitment to cutting-edge technology, but also a partnership with a sustainability leader.
