Apple’s launch of the M4 Mac mini marks a significant step toward its 2030 carbon-neutral goal.
The Mac mini is Apple’s first carbon-neutral Mac, crafted from over 50% recycled materials, including 100% recycled aluminum, gold, and rare earth elements. Apple powers its production entirely with renewable energy and ensures all customer electricity use is offset by clean energy projects.
Shipping for the Mac mini has shifted heavily to sea freight, cutting its carbon footprint by over 80%. To further offset emissions, Apple invests in the Restore Fund, supporting reforestation and carbon removal projects.Packaging also favors fiber over plastic, aligning with Apple’s 2025 packaging goals.
With these strides, Apple moves closer to a sustainable future across its entire product lineup.
