## iPhone and the
Environment
**iPhone Air is designed to reduce environmental impact:[23](https://www.apple.com/iphone-air/specs/#footnote-25)**
[See the iPhone Air Product Environmental Report (PDF)](https://www.apple.com/environment/pdf/products/iphone/iPhone_Air_PER_Sept2025.pdf)
### Progress toward Apple 2030
Apple 2030 is our commitment to be carbon neutral for our entire carbon footprint. Our plan to decarbonize products is rigorous and focuses on transitioning to low-carbon electricity, designing with recycled and low-carbon materials, and prioritizing lower-carbon ways of shipping products, like ocean freight.
[See Apple’s commitment](https://www.apple.com/environment/)
### Materials
iPhone Air is made with 35% recycled content,[24](https://www.apple.com/iphone-air/specs/#footnote-26)including:
– 80% recycled titanium
– 100% recycled cobalt and 95% recycled lithium in the battery
– 100% recycled gold plating and tin solder in all Apple-designed printed circuit boards
– 100% recycled gold wire in all cameras and gold plating in all connectors
– 100% recycled rare earth elements in all magnets
– 80% recycled steel in the battery enclosure
### Energy
– 45% of manufacturing electricity for iPhone Air is sourced from renewable electricity[25](https://www.apple.com/iphone-air/specs/#footnote-27)
– Exceeds U.S. Department of Energy requirements for battery charger systems[26](https://www.apple.com/iphone-air/specs/#footnote-28)
### Packaging
– 100% fiber-based packaging[27](https://www.apple.com/iphone-air/specs/#footnote-29)

### Waste
– No established final assembly sites generate waste sent to landfill as part of Apple’s Zero Waste Program[29](https://www.apple.com/iphone-air/specs/#footnote-31)
### Smarter chemistry
[30](https://www.apple.com/iphone-air/specs/#footnote-32)
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.
