Recycling Program.

We believe in closing the loop when it comes to electronic waste. When you buy Apple products from us, you can be confident that responsible recycling options are available for your old equipment. By participating in our buy-back programmes, you are making an active contribution to reducing electronic waste, helping to preserve the valuable materials found in old equipment and preventing obsolete devices from ending up in landfill.

100% recyclable bags.

We have implemented eco-friendly practices such as providing our customers with 100% recyclable paper bags, and we aim to reduce their use and encourage a more conscious approach to packaging waste by charging a small fee for each bag.

Climate control.

Our stores prioritise environmental responsibility by ensuring that climate control systems are set to maintain temperatures within an optimal range, minimising energy consumption and reducing carbon emissions. Our aim is to create a comfortable shopping experience while minimising our impact on the environment.

Energy-efficient practices.

As part of our sustainable approach, we continually research and adopt energy-efficient technologies and practices. From LED lighting systems to energy-saving appliances, we ensure our stores and facilities operate in an environmentally responsible manner.

Remote working.

As part of our commitment to reducing carbon emissions, we encourage remote working at our headquarters, minimising transport emissions and providing a flexible and sustainable working environment.

By choosing Apple, leaders are making a smart investment in devices that are good for pupils and good for the planet. As a company, Apple has been carbon neutral since 2020, and by 2030, all products will be too – including the entire product supply chain. This gives education leaders the opportunity to reduce their institution’s carbon footprint.

One of the major ways Apple lowers its carbon impact is by designing products that require less energy. By intelligently managing the amount of power they consume, Apple devices are more efficient – helping schools save on their electricity bill each month. According to ENERGY STAR, iPad uses 13 per cent less energy than HP Chromebook 11 G9 EE and 50 per cent less energy than Dell Latitude 3330.

Apple also designs products – and their packaging – with as much recycled material as possible. For example, all iPad models use 100 per cent recycled aluminium in their enclosures.5 With guaranteed buy-back and trade-in programmes, Apple devices can also be recovered and reused at the end of their life cycle – unlike other devices that are often given away or discarded.

E-waste Management.

As part of our commitment to sustainability, we work with our IT partners to actively support responsible e-waste management and contribute to the circular economy. Through our recycling and refurbishment initiatives, we ensure that electronic equipment is properly disposed of or reused, thereby conserving valuable resources and minimising the impact it has on the environment.
