Will this initiative work?
Apple’s M4 Mac mini has already garnered plenty of attention thanks to its brand-new and innovative design. Still, there’s another reason why it deserves your praise according to the tech giant.
The M4 Mac mini is now the second Apple product and the first Mac device to receive the “carbon neutral” label. In order to reduce the carbon footprint of the Mac mini, Apple invested in enough renewable energy to offset the emissions created by consumer use of the product.
This all started in 2023 with the Apple Watch Series 9’s production, in which it decided to eliminate emissions by purchasing renewable energy sources. While the energy needed to power a smartwatch is relatively small compared to the footprint of the device’s components, a Mac mini requires far more energy to function, which makes the latter a much more sustainable option for this method of carbon reduction.
