Apple scores low on Greenpeace eco-friendly policy report

Apple Computer is considered to be one of the hippest brands in the computer market but apparently, they have scored pretty low on a report by Greenpeace.

The company failed to impress in the survey of electronics companies conducted by the environmental group.

Apple ranked fourth from the bottom in Greenpeace’s survey and just about managed to beat companies like Acer, Motorola, and Lenovo.

Greenpeace said in its Green Electronics Guide on this report: “For a company that claims to lead on product design, Apple scores badly on almost all criteria.” The report added that the company doesn’t publish a list of regulated substances it uses in its products.

Apple responded by saying that they are currently the only major computer vendor to have eliminated cathode ray tube monitors containing lead from its product lines along with cadmium and hexavalent chromium in manufacturing.
