Apple Watch Series 9 Goes Carbon Neutral Through Clean Energy and Recycling
-
Apple Watch Series 9 is the company's first carbon-neutral product. Manufacturing is powered by clean electricity and recycled materials are used.
-
Apple forecasts energy needed to charge the watch over its lifetime, then invests in renewable energy to offset this.
-
Packaging is now 100% fiber-based and smaller, allowing 25% more watches per shipping trip. More transport by cargo ship instead of plane.
-
Together, these efforts have reduced the carbon footprint of Apple Watch by 78%.
-
For remaining emissions, Apple will buy offsets through forest and wetland credits.
