Compare all iPad models iPad Air and the environment. Learn more in our Product Environmental Report (PDF) Made with 30% recycled material by weight.

Recycled Material

Our approach.

Using recycled materials, like 100% recycled cobalt and 95% recycled lithium in the battery, reduces the need to mine new material, which avoids the carbon emissions and environmental impacts of mining.

Renewable Electricity

Our approach.

Using electricity from renewable sources — like wind and solar — instead of fossil fuels across our global supply chain significantly reduces carbon emissions from manufacturing Apple products.
