Sustainability
Powerful for Education. Thoughtful for the Planet.
Choosing Apple is a smart investment in outcomes for students and for the planet. CDW helps education leaders deploy Apple devices that support sustainability goals while delivering strong classroom performance.
Apple has been carbon neutral since 2020 and is working toward carbon neutrality across its entire product footprint, including the supply chain, by 2030. This creates a meaningful opportunity for institutions to reduce their overall environmental impact.
Energy efficiency is a key driver. Apple devices are engineered to use less power through intelligent energy management, helping schools lower electricity costs month to month.
Apple also prioritizes responsible design. Many devices incorporate recycled materials, including iPad models built with 100 percent recycled aluminum enclosures. And with structured buy-back and trade-in programs, institutions can extend device lifecycles,recovering value and reducing e-waste rather than discarding outdated hardware.
