MacBook Neo and the Environment
Environmental impact

MacBook Neo is designed to reduce environmental impact:9

See the MacBook Neo Product Environmental Report (PDF)

Progress towards Apple 2030

Apple 2030 is our commitment to be carbon neutral for our entire carbon footprint. Our plan to decarbonise products is rigorous and focuses on transitioning to low‑carbon electricity, designing with recycled and low‑carbon materials and prioritising lower‑carbon ways of shipping products, like sea freight.

See Apple’s commitment

Materials

MacBook Neo is made with 60% recycled content,10 including:

90% recycled aluminium

100% recycled cobalt and 95% recycled lithium in the battery

100% recycled rare earth elements in all magnets

100% recycled gold plating and tin solder in all Apple‑designed printed circuit boards

100% recycled copper in multiple printed circuit boards

80% recycled steel in the battery tray, keyboard link bars and speaker

Energy

45% of manufacturing electricity for MacBook Neo is sourced from renewable electricity11

ENERGY STAR® certified12

Packaging

100% fibre-based packaging13

Waste

No established final assembly sites generate waste sent to landfill as part of Apple’s Zero Waste Programme14

Smarter chemistry15

All 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.

L W A,m is the mean A-weighted sound power level, rounded to the nearest 0.1 B.

L p A,m is the mean A-weighted sound pressure level measured at operator position (rounded to the nearest 1 dB).

1 B (bel) = 10 dB (decibel).

K v is the statistical adder for computing upper-limit of A-weighted sound power level.

The quantity, L W A,c (formerly called L W Ad) may be computed from the sum of L W A,m and K v .

The wireless web test browses 6 tabs with a mix of content including media.

Configuration tested: A18 Pro, 6-core CPU / 5-core GPU, 8GB unified memory, 512GB storage.

1GB = 1 billion bytes; actual formatted capacity less.

Screen size is measured diagonally. The display has rounded corners at the top. When measured as a standard rectangular shape, the screen is 13.0 inches diagonally (actual viewable area is less).

Testing conducted by Apple in January 2026 using pre‑production MacBook Neo systems with Apple A18 Pro, 6‑core CPU, 5‑core GPU, 8GB of unified memory and 256GB SSD. Wireless web battery life tested by browsing 25 popular websites while connected to Wi‑Fi. Video streaming battery life tested with 1080p content in Safari while connected to Wi‑Fi. All systems tested with display brightness set to 8 clicks from bottom. Battery life varies by use and configuration. See apple.com/uk/batteries for more information.

Enabling scaled resolution higher than the native resolution of the external display may affect availability of some refresh rate or HDR modes in display preferences.

Wi‑Fi 6E available in countries and regions where supported.

Weight varies by configuration and manufacturing process.

Apple Intelligence is available in beta. Some features may not be available in all regions or languages. For feature and language availability and system requirements, see support.apple.com/en-gb/121115.

iMovie, GarageBand, Pages, Numbers and Keynote are available on the Mac App Store. Downloading apps requires an Apple Account and a device that is compatible with the OS version required for each app. iPhone Mirroring is not available in all countries and regions.

Data accurate as of product launch.

Product recycled or renewable content is the mass of certified recycled material relative to the overall mass of the device, not including packaging or in‑box accessories.

We estimate the percentage of electricity-related emissions in our manufacturing that is sourced from low‑carbon electricity by attributing to our carbon model low-carbon energy procured by our suppliers in the prior fiscal year, based on the supplier manufacturing allocations at time of product launch. Included in this number is only low‑carbon electricity that Apple or its suppliers have procured as part of Apple’s Supplier Clean Energy Programme.

ENERGY STAR and the ENERGY STAR mark are registered trademarks owned by the US Environmental Protection Agency.

Breakdown of US retail packaging by weight. Adhesives, inks and coatings are excluded from our calculations.

All established final assembly supplier sites — those that have been Apple suppliers for more than one year — for MacBook Neo are third-party verified as Zero Waste by UL LLC (UL 2799 Standard). UL requires at least 90% diversion through methods other than waste to energy to achieve Zero Waste to Landfill (Silver 90–94%, Gold 95–99% and Platinum 100%) designations.

Apple’s Regulated Substances Specification describes Apple’s restrictions on the use of certain chemical substances in materials in Apple products, accessories, manufacturing processes and packaging used for shipping products to Apple’s end customers. Restrictions are derived from international laws or directives, regulatory agencies, eco‑label requirements, environmental standards and Apple policies. Every Apple product is free of PVC and phthalates except for AC power leads in India, Thailand (for two‑pin AC power leads) and South Korea, where we continue to seek government approval for our PVC and phthalates replacement. Apple products comply with the European Union Directive 2011/65/EU and its amendments, including exemptions for the use of lead such as high‑temperature solder. Apple is working to phase out the use of these exempted substances for new products where technically possible.
