They\u2019ve now filed a lawsuit against Apple, alleging the claims about these watches being \u201ccarbon neutral\u201d are false and misleading.<br \/>\nApple slapped with a lawsuit over the \u201ccarbon neutral\u201d claim for three watches<br \/>\nThe lawsuit, filed in California, argues that the three Apple Watches aren\u2019t really carbon neutral. In fact, they rely on carbon offset projects that don\u2019t reduce the carbon footprint. Had customers been aware of the situation, they would have either paid less or not bought the watches altogether.<br \/>\nThe lawsuit against Apple primarily revolves around two carbon offset projects that the company uses to boost its carbon-neutral efforts. The projects in question are Kenya\u2019s Chyulu Hills Project and China\u2019s Guinan Project. The lawsuit also argues that neither of the projects meets the basic criteria for further carbon reduction.<br \/>\nThis is because the land was already forested and would have contributed to a reduction in carbon footprint, regardless of Apple\u2019s involvement. Since Apple\u2019s carbon-neutral claims rely on the \u201cefficacy and legitimacy\u201d of these projects, the claims are false and misleading.<br \/>\nCiting a study by the National Retail Federation and IBM, the plaintiffs also point out that around 70% of U.S. and Canadian customers make their purchase decisions with environmental sustainability in mind. While the lawsuit seeks unspecified damages, it demands that the company stop marketing the three Apple Watches as \u201ccarbon neutral.\u201d<br \/>\nThe tech giant stands firm on its claim<br \/>\nApple, on the other hand, stands by its claims. In an email, the company\u2019s spokesperson notes, \u201cWe\u2019ve drastically cut emissions for Apple Watch by over 75%, and we are investing significantly in nature-based projects to remove hundreds of thousands of metric tons of carbon from the air. We detail our work prominently and transparently for our users.\u201d While Apple aims to become carbon neutral by 2030, how it will achieve that goal remains unclear as of now.<br \/>\nThe post Apple faces lawsuit over 'carbon neutral&#8217; claim for its watches appeared first on Android Headlines.&#013;<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/plus.maciejpiasecki.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Apple-Watch-Ultra-2-Lifestyle-Image.jpg\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\">&#013;<br \/>\nSource: ndroidheadlines.com&#013;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you keep up with the launch of Apple products, you must be aware that the company claimed the Watch [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":76,"featured_media":15411,"comment_status":"false","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-15410","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-bez-kategorii"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/plus.maciejpiasecki.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15410","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/plus.maciejpiasecki.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/plus.maciejpiasecki.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/plus.maciejpiasecki.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/76"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/plus.maciejpiasecki.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=15410"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/plus.maciejpiasecki.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15410\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":15412,"href":"https:\/\/plus.maciejpiasecki.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15410\/revisions\/15412"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/plus.maciejpiasecki.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/15411"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/plus.maciejpiasecki.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=15410"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/plus.maciejpiasecki.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=15410"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/plus.maciejpiasecki.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=15410"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
