Greenpeace Guide to Greener Electronics

The Greenpeace guide to Greener Electronics ranks the 18 top manufacturers of personal computers, mobile phones, TVs and games consoles according to their policies on toxic chemicals, recycling and climate change.

In this list Apple is in place 9 out of 18, with a score of 4.9 out of a possible 10.
Apple scored very well on the toxic chemicals criteria, such as now being free of PVCs, but they score poorly “for the minimal information it provides about its future toxic chemical phase-out plans” and secrecy.

Greenpeace said in their statement about the company:

Apple is so well-branded it might come as a surprise to some to know that the company historically scored low points on the Guide to Greener Electronics for a lack of transparency and unwillingness to report on its environmental policies. It might be the best branded electronics company, but this doesn’t absolve it of responsibility.
