Progress toward Apple 2030

Apple 2030 is our commitment to be carbon-neutral for our entire carbon footprint. Our plan to decarbonize products is rigorous and focuses on transitioning to low-carbon electricity, designing with recycled and low-carbon materials, and prioritizing lower-carbon ways of shipping products, like ocean freight.

Materials

iPad Air is made with 30% recycled content,13 including:

100% recycled aluminum in the enclosure 100% recycled cobalt and 95% recycled lithium in the battery 100% recycled gold plating and tin solder in all Apple-designed printed circuit boards 100% recycled gold wire in all cameras and gold plating in all connectors 100% recycled rare earth elements in all magnets 80% recycled steel in the Apple logo

Energy

40% of manufacturing electricity for iPad Air is sourced from renewable electricity14 ENERGY STAR® certified15

Packaging

100% fibre-based packaging16

Waste

No established final assembly sites generate waste sent to landfill as part of Apple’s Zero Waste Program17

Smarter chemistry18

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

Storage capacity subject to change based on software version, settings and iPad model. 1GB = 1 billion bytes; 1TB = 1 trillion bytes. Size and weight vary by configuration and manufacturing process. Apple Intelligence is available in beta. Some features may not be available in all regions or languages. For feature and language availability and system requirements, see support.apple.com/en-ca/121115. FaceTime calling requires a FaceTime-enabled device for the caller and recipient and a Wi‑Fi connection. Availability over a cellular network depends on carrier policies; data charges may apply. Wi‑Fi 7 available in countries and regions where supported. Data plan required for cellular connections. 5G, Gigabit LTE and Wi‑Fi calling are available in select markets and through select carriers. Speeds are based on theoretical throughput and vary based on site conditions and carrier. For details on 5G and LTE support, contact your carrier and see apple.com/ca/ipad/cellular. Cellular data plan is sold separately. The model you purchase is configured to work with a particular cellular network technology. Check with your carrier for compatibility and cellular data plan availability. Not all carriers support eSIM. See your carrier for more details. For Models A3463 and A3464, contact China Unicom for more details. Siri may not be available in all languages or in all areas, and features may vary by area. Internet access required. Cellular data charges may apply. Testing conducted by Apple in January and February 2026 using preproduction iPad Air 11‑inch (M4) and iPad Air 13‑inch (M4) units. Testing consisted of full battery discharge while performing each of the following tasks: video playback and internet browsing using Wi‑Fi or cellular data network (cellular models subscribed to LTE and 5G carrier networks). Video content was a repeated 2-hour 23-minute movie purchased from the iTunes Store. Internet over Wi‑Fi and cellular data network tested by browsing 20 popular web pages. All settings were default except: Wi‑Fi was associated with a network (except for internet browsing over cellular data network); the Wi‑Fi feature Ask to Join Networks and Auto-Brightness were turned off; Brightness was set to 50%; and WPA2 encryption was enabled. Battery life depends on device settings, usage, network and many other factors. Battery tests are conducted using specific iPad units; actual results may vary. Apple Invites, Apple Support and Swift Playgrounds are available on the App Store for iPad. Downloading apps requires an Apple Account and a device that is compatible with the OS version required for each app. Wireless broadband recommended; fees may apply. Data accurate as of product launch. Product recycled or renewable content is the mass of certified recycled material relative to the overall mass of the device, not including packaging or in‑box accessories. We estimate the percentage of electricity-related emissions in our manufacturing that is sourced from low-carbon electricity by attributing to our carbon model low-carbon energy procured by our suppliers in the prior fiscal year, based on the supplier manufacturing allocations at time of product launch. This calculation assesses the suppliers for iPad Air. Included in this number is only low-carbon electricity that Apple or its suppliers have procured as part of Apple’s Supplier Clean Energy Program. ENERGY STAR and the ENERGY STAR mark are registered trademarks owned by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. Breakdown of U.S. retail packaging by weight. Adhesives, inks and coatings are excluded from our calculations. All established final assembly supplier sites — those that have been Apple suppliers for more than one year — for iPad Air are third-party verified as Zero Waste by UL LLC (UL 2799 Standard). UL requires at least 90% diversion through methods other than waste to energy to achieve Zero Waste to Landfill (Silver 90–94%, Gold 95–99% and Platinum 100%) designations. Apple’s Regulated Substances Specification describes Apple’s restrictions on the use of certain chemical substances in materials in Apple products, accessories, manufacturing processes and packaging used for shipping products to Apple’s end-customers. Restrictions are derived from international laws or directives, regulatory agencies, eco-label requirements, environmental standards and Apple policies. Every Apple product is free of PVC and phthalates except for AC power cords in India, Thailand (for two-prong AC power cords) and South Korea, where we continue to seek government approval for our PVC and phthalates replacement. Apple products comply with the European Union Directive 2011/65/EU and its amendments, including exemptions for the use of lead such as high-temperature solder. Apple is working to phase out the use of these exempted substances for new products where technically possible. Some features may not be available for all countries or all areas.
