Since 2018, its offices, stores and data centers have run on 100% renewable energy. Apple's operations have been carbon neutral since 2020.

Apple now uses certified recycled gold in the iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 Pro for plating the main logic board and the front and rear camera wires. IPhone batteries also use 13% recycled cobalt. Apple used 100% recycled tin for soldering the main logic board of all new iPhones, iPads, AirPods and Mac products. Last year, Apple products included 45% recycled rare earth elements and 30% recycled tin. In 2017, the company announced a goal of only using renewable or recyclable materials for its products. It has reduced the amount of plastics in packaging by 75% since 2015 so that in 2021 the amount of plastics in packaging was down to 4%. The company aims to end the use of plastics in packaging by 2025. Last year, 59% of the aluminum in shipped Apple products came from recycled sources, with some products containing 100% recycled material within the enclosure.

In 2021, recycled materials accounted for nearly 20% of the materials in Apple products, which is the highest it has ever been.

In addition to starting to use recycled gold for the first time, Apple has more than doubled the use of recycled tungsten, rare earth elements and cobalt, the company said.
