Mac mini and the Environment

See the Mac mini Product Environmental Report (PDF)

Progress toward Apple 2030

Apple 2030 is our goal to be carbon neutral across our value chain. We design our products to be less carbon intensive by prioritizing the use of recycled and renewable content and low-carbon materials while focusing on the energy efficiency of our software and hardware.

Materials

Mac mini is made with 50% recycled content,8 including:

  • 100% recycled aluminum in the enclosure and thermal module stage
  • 100% recycled copper in multiple thermal module components
  • 100% recycled copper plating in all Apple-designed printed circuit boards
  • 100% recycled gold plating and tin solder in all Apple-designed printed circuit boards
  • 80% recycled steel in multiple components including the logo and fan pillow

Packaging

  • 100% fiber‑based packaging9

Energy

  • 100% of manufacturing electricity for Mac mini is sourced from renewable electricity10
  • 100% of expected customer use electricity matched with low‑carbon electricity11
  • ENERGY STAR® certified12

Smarter chemistry13

All of the materials used in Apple products, accessories, and packaging are covered by the requirements of our Regulated Substances Specification, which was one of the first in industry to restrict the use of key substances of concern. See the latest Environmental Progress Report to understand Apple’s recent efforts in phasing out these chemistries.
