In addition to the usual spec bumps and new bands, Apple had another announcement to make at the launch of its Series 9 Watch: The new model is its first carbon neutral product.

Here’s how that works. First up is electricity. All Watch manufacturing is now powered by “100% clean electricity,” which probably means a mix of renewables plus nuclear and hydropower. The company also took the unusual step of buying renewable power on behalf of consumers. Apple forecasts how much electricity will be required to charge the watch over its lifetime and invests enough in renewable energy projects to offset that figure.
