Apple Rejecting 'Green Ranking' from Greenpeace

There are different gadgets in the assessment of the most 'green' by Greenpeace this time. That is not the participation of one of the world's IT giants, namely Apple. Manufacturer IPAD and the iPhone turned out to reject the 'skinned' Greenpeace.

Ranking gadgets most 'green' version of Greenpeace who recently announced on the sidelines of the event the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in 2011 was actually invited the 20 companies surveyed IT.

 

But in the journey, only 18 vendors who expressed willingness to be assessed Greenpeace. They include Dell, Fujitsu, HCL, Lenovo, LG Electronics, Motorola, Nokia, Panasonic, Research In Motion, Toshiba and Wipro.

While two other companies, refused to participate. Besides Apple, who also refused to go 'green ranking' Greenpeace is Phillips.

No mention clearly what the reason behind the rejection of both companies. However, if the reason just afraid if later found out that the devices they produce is not 'green', seems to be enough question marks.

The reason, in July 2010, Greenpeace just gave appreciation to Apple due to have demonstrated a commitment to using environmentally friendly materials and materials that can be recycled in the IPAD and the iPhone 4.

Environmental organizations that do not even hesitate to make Apple as a role model for the progress they have achieved can be followed by another vendor, one of which is Dell.

So it's somewhat confusing if the firm is now led by Steve Jobs seem to be afraid to 'skinned' Greenpeace related products.

Indeed, by deciding to participate in a survey conducted by Greenpeace, the vendor is tantamount to opening the kitchen production to outside parties.

There are four criteria to the assessment, ie how much the use of hazardous chemicals in their products, related to electricity consumption, how to recycle products and innovative marketing strategies and what they have run in order to campaign for environmentally friendly programs.

Well, from the four indicators that Asus is finally pulled in two trophies in the categories of computer monitors and notebooks. While the netbook category dominated by Acer.

Here are the complete results of the gadget's champions 'greenest' version of Greenpeace who quoted from the AFP on Friday (01/07/2011):
