Study: Apple NOT a green company, ranks near bottom

[Ezlivin]

Greenpeace did a study on how well companies did in environmental impact.

Apple scored very low.

"For a company that claims to lean on product design, Apple scores badly on almost all criteria. The company fails to embrace the precautionary principle, withholds its full list of regulated substances and provides no timelines for eliminating toxic polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and no commitment to phasing out all uses of brominated flame retardants (BFRs). Apple performs poorly on product take back and recycling, with the exception of reporting on the amounts of electronic waste recycled."
