Apple manages to finally impress Greenpeace

Greenpeace has revealed that they have now moved Apple up its green electronics rankings. Apple gained from their recent attempts to phase out PVCs and other chemical nasties from its products.

Nokia dominated the list as they remained the greenest electronics maker in the Greenpeace list of companies.

Greenpeace said in a statement: ‘The electronics ranking guide has been our answer to getting the electronics industry to face up to the problem of e-waste. We want manufacturers to take responsibility for the unprotected child laborers who scavenge the mountains of cast-off gadgets created by our gizmo-loving ways.’

It added: ‘We’ve been happily surprised at how quickly many corporations have risen to the competitive challenge. It’s especially rewarding to see more than a few CEOs openly vying for the top green spot, and challenging their competitors to adopt industry-wide policies to reduce the problem of e-waste.’

Nokia continues to head the list as they have successfully phased out PVC, and met or exceeded a wide set of benchmarks laid down by Greenpeace.

Dell and Lenovo were placed second in the list.
