Apple Product Environmental Specification
The use of energy-efficient products results in savings in energy costs and the reduction of pollution resulting from
the generation of electricity. Apple promotes energy conservation in its product design and performance including
our participation in the ENERGY STAR® program and no-load power consumption programs such as the EU Code
of Conduct for external power supplies, and the U.S. Federal Energy Management Program. The energy data
listed reflects standard configurations only. Other configurations may yield different energy values.
An environmental policy and environmental management system (EMS) demonstrates the commitment, purpose,
objective and mission of a company. Apple has established an internal EMS, and has certified its facilities in
Sacramento, CA, Ireland, and Singapore to ISO 14001.
Apple products are tested and certified to international standards to assure the safe use of our products.
The safe use of Apple products is of foremost concern. Therefore, Apple tests and certifies our products to
international standards to assure their safe use.
Visual ergonomics is an important concern to computer users. It affects user comfort and performance. Apple
designs, tests and certifies our displays to meet stringent visual ergonomics (front of screen) criteria. In addition,
our displays have the capability of tilting and swiveling to adjust to user needs.
Apple evaluates the environmental attributes of our packaging for hazardous materials as well as the minimization
of the quantity and weight of the packaging materials. These considerations enable and promote recycling of
packaging materials for our customers.
Electrical Safety, EMC, and connection to telephone network
Apple designs its products with specific features and functions that promote the ease of recyclables. In addition, in
specific countries, Apple has established takeback/recycling programs to assist customers.
Environmental policy & environmental management
Environmentally conscious design is the systematic approach of identifying and incorporating product features and
functions with respect to environmental, health and safety objectives throughout all stages of a product’s life.
Apple has established a process where we address these issues in the design, development, manufacture, use,
and end-of-life of our products.
Some materials that have traditionally been used in electronic products have been determined to be environmental
or health hazards. The use of these materials has been banned or restricted by legislation or ecolabels.
Apple uses rechargeable batteries to provide power for notebooks, develops power management software and
energy saving features to obtain maximum efficiency, and avoids batteries that contain lead, cadmium and/or
mercury.
The manufacturer has a documented environmental policy approved
by the management.
The manufacturer has an environmental management system
according to: ISO 14001 ___, EMAS ___ or internal system X
The manufacturer regularly publishes an environmental report. X C3.3 A.6.1
The ISO/EMAS certification authority shall be accredited in
accordance with ISO/IEC Guide 66, and shall meet the provisions of
ISO/IEC Guide 61
TCO-prepared Document to accompany product X A.1.1
A document specifying how the TCO Document shall accompany

applicant company shall be submitted
Environmentally conscious design
Large mechanical plastic parts consist of one material or of
materials that are easy to separate.
All plastic components that weigh >100g shall be made from no
more than 2 types of plastic materials, regardless of their location in
the product.
The variety of materials forming components of comparable
functions are limited to one material.
The proportional use of recyclate is permitted. X B.5
All mechanical plastic parts, heavier than X 25 g / __50 g have
material codes according to ISO 11469 (version 1996)) or All
mechanical plastic parts, heavier than X 25 g / __50 g have
material codes according to ISO 11469 (version 2000; addition of
ISO 1043, parts 1-4 Plastics-Symbols and abbreviated terms)
The coating of plastic components is limited to a minimum X B.3
No internal or external metallization or molded-in or glued metal
parts in the plastic housing shall be used
Plastic parts are free from metal inlays that cannot be removed by
one person alone with a standard tool
Labels should be inherent and separable for recycling X P6.7
Components made of incompatible materials can be removed
separately or via separation aids
Connections to be separated during disassembly are easily
traceable
Connections to be separated during the disassembly of Flat Panel
Display must be easy to take apart in order to not damage the
mercury lamps. This means that gluing and welding must not be
used to bond parts and make removal of the lamps complicated.
The product is designed for easy dismantling during recycling.
Gluing/welding of different materials has been avoided
Disassembly can be done exclusively with all-purpose tools X A.4
Disassembly can be done by a single person X A.9
All screwed connections between modules can be separated with
no more than three tools
Large-size plastic case parts are so designed as to ensure the
reutilization of the plastics on the basis of existing technologies for
the production of high-quality and long-lived plastic products
Materials and material compounds can be recycled on an industrial
scale (technologically and economically useful)
