MacBook Recycling Through ultra-ecient design and the use of highly recyclable materials, Apple has minimized material waste at the product's end of life. In addition, Apple oers and participates in various product take-back and recycling programs in 95 percent of the regions where Apple products are sold. All products are processed in the country or region in which they are collected. For more information on how to take advantage of these programs, visit www.apple.com/recycling/.
