Mac Studio and the Environment
- See the Mac Studio 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 Studio is made with 35% recycled content, including
- 100% recycled aluminum in the enclosure and thermal module sheet, chassis, and brackets
- 100% recycled copper in the thermal module pedestal and multiple printed circuit boards
- 100% recycled gold plating and tin solder in all Apple‑designed printed circuit boards
- 90% recycled steel in multiple thermal module components

- Packaging
- 100% fiber-based packaging
- Energy
- ENERGY STAR® certified
- Smarter chemistry
- 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.

- 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.
