and the Environment

Apple Watch Ultra 3 is designed to reduce environmental impact:19

See the Apple Watch Ultra 3 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 ocean freight.

Materials

Apple Watch Ultra 3 is made with 40% recycled content,20 including:

  • 100% recycled titanium in the case
  • 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 tungsten in the Taptic Engine
  • 80% recycled steel in the speaker and Taptic Engine

Energy

  • 100% of manufacturing electricity for Apple Watch Ultra 3 is sourced from renewable electricity21
  • 100% of expected customer energy use matched with low-carbon electricity
  • Meets California Energy Commission’s energy efficiency standards for battery charger systems22

Packaging

100% fibre-based packaging23

Waste

No established final assembly sites generate waste sent to landfill as part of Apple’s Zero Waste Programme24

Smarter chemistry25

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.
