Environmental Report
Apple and the Environment
Apple believes that improving the environmental performance of our business
starts with our products. The careful environmental management of our products
throughout their life cycles includes controlling the quantity and types of materials
used in their manufacture, improving their energy efficiency, and designing them for
better recyclability. The information below details the environmental performance
of iPad2 as it relates to climate change, energy efficiency, material efficiency, and
restricted substances.
Climate Change
Greenhouse gas emissions have an impact on the planet’s balance of land, ocean,
and air temperature. Most of Apple’s corporate greenhouse gas emissions come from
the production, transport, use, and recycling of its products. Apple seeks to minimize
greenhouse gas emissions by setting stringent design-related goals for material and
energy efficiency. The chart below provides the estimated life-cycle greenhouse gas
emissions for iPad 2.
