iMac and the Environment

Progress toward Apple 2030

Apple 2030 is our goal to be carbon neutral across our value chain. We design our products to be less carbon intensive by prioritizing the use of recycled and renewable content and low-carbon materials while focusing on the energy efficiency of our software and hardware.

See Apple’s commitment

See the iMac Product Environmental Report (PDF)

Materials

iMac is made with 15% recycled content,⁸ including:
100% recycled aluminum in the stand
50% recycled glass in the standard glass⁹
100% recycled gold plating in all Apple‑designed printed circuit boards
50% recycled plastic in multiple components⁹
100% recycled rare earth elements in all magnets
100% recycled tin solder in all Apple‑designed printed circuit boards

Packaging

100% fiber-based packaging¹⁰

Energy

ENERGY STAR® certified¹¹

Smarter chemistry¹²

All of the materials used in Apple products, accessories, and packaging are covered by the requirements of our Regulated Substances Specification (PDF), which was one of the first in industry to restrict the use of key substances of concern. See the latest Environmental Progress Report (PDF) to understand Apple’s recent efforts in phasing out these chemistries.
