A Commitment to a Greener Planet
Apple’s commitment to environmental sustainability shines through in the design of the new AirPods Pro. They incorporate various eco-friendly elements, such as 100 percent recycled rare earth elements in magnets, 100 percent recycled gold in printed circuit boards, and 100 percent recycled tin in solder.
The case itself is made with 100 percent recycled aluminum in the hinge and 100 percent recycled tin in the main logic board’s solder. Notably, the AirPods Pro 2nd Gen are free from potentially harmful substances like mercury, BFRs, PVC, and beryllium.
To further reduce its environmental footprint, Apple has reimagined its packaging, eliminating the need for outer plastic wrap. Over 90 percent of the packaging materials consist of fiber-based materials, aligning with Apple’s goal of eliminating plastic from all packaging by 2025.
Currently, Apple is carbon neutral for its global corporate operations, and by 2030, the company aims to achieve 100 percent carbon neutrality throughout its manufacturing supply chain and product life cycles. This commitment ensures that every Apple device, from production to disposal, will have a net-zero climate impact.
