Apple and the Environment
Apple believes that improving the environmental performance of our business
starts with our products. The careful environmental management of our
products throughout their life cycles includes controlling the quantity and
typesof materials used in their manufacture, improving their energy efficiency,
and designing them for better recyclability. The information below details the
environmental performance of Apple TV HD as it relates to climate change,
energy efficiency, material efficiency, and restricted substances.
Climate Change
Greenhouse gas emissions have an impact on the planet’s balance of land, ocean, and air
temperatures. Most of Apple’s greenhouse gas emissions come from the production, transport,
use, and recycling of our products. Apple seeks to minimize product-related greenhouse gas
emissions by setting stringent design-related goals for material and energy efficiency, and by
increasing use of renewable energy in our supply chain. The chart below provides the estimated
greenhouse gas emissions for Apple TV HD over its life cycle.

Apple TV HD consumes
70percent less energy than
the limit for the ENERGY STAR
Program Requirements for
Set-top Boxes.
Energy Efficiency
A significant portion of product-related greenhouse gas emissions occurs during the customer use
phase. Energy efficiency is therefore prioritized throughout the product’s design. Apple products use
power-efficient components and software that can intelligently power them down during periods of
inactivity. The result is that Apple TV HD is energy efficient right out of the box.
Apple TV HD outperforms the stringent requirements of the ENERGY STAR® Program Requirements
for Set-top Boxes. It has been designed to be significantly more efficient than the original AppleTV,
consuming 90 percent less energy. Table below details power consumption in different use modes.
Power Consumption for Apple TV HD
Mode 100V 115V 230V
Sleep/Network standby 0.32W 0.32W 0.36W
Streaming HD movies 2.18W 2.24W 2.32W
Power supply efficiency 87.0% 87.0% 86.6%
Material Efficiency
Apple’s ultracompact product and packaging designs lead the industry in material efficiency. Reducing
the material footprint of a product helps maximize shipping efficiency. It also helps reduce the energy
consumed during production and material waste generated at the end of the product’s life. The chart
below details the materials used in this model.
