A Frankfurt court says Apple misled you with its "carbon-neutral" label, raising tough questions about greenwashing and how much companies can really promise.
Apple utilizes clean power in the production of the Apple Watch. The company also incorporates 30% renewable materials and avoids air shipment for half of the devices to lower carbon emissions.
Apple reports that these efforts have reduced product emissions by 75%. The business states that it uses "high-quality carbon credits" to offset the remaining emissions.
