Apple Introduces First Carbon Neutral Devices in New Watch Lineup
Apple reveals its first carbon neutral products as part of the new Apple Watch lineup, reducing product emissions by over 75 percent. This milestone pushes the tech giant closer to its Apple 2030 goal of making every product completely carbon neutral.
Apple unveils its first-ever carbon neutral products within the all-new Apple Watch lineup, marking a major step toward its Apple 2030 climate goal. Through innovations in design and clean energy, the company achieves a dramatic reduction of over 75 percent in product emissions for each carbon neutral Apple Watch model. This achievement relies heavily on the use of renewable power like wind and solar across Apple's global supply chain.
As part of this environmental push, Apple completely phases out the use of leather across all of its product lines and introduces entirely fiber-based packaging for the new Apple Watch models. The company also continues to expand the use of recycled materials in the iPhone. Additionally, Apple launches a new Home app tool called Grid Forecast that shows users when their local power grid runs on cleaner energy sources.
Apple's vice president of Environment, Policy, and Social Initiatives, Lisa Jackson, emphasizes that the company's focus on renewable energy and low-carbon design drives these industry-leading emissions reductions. This milestone represents a significant victory in making the world's most popular watch carbon neutral. Apple continues to innovate rapidly to meet the urgent global climate challenge and fulfill its promise to neutralize the entire carbon footprint of every device by the end of the decade.
