New iMacs are also sold with bromine-free casings and printed circuit board laminates as well as PVC-free internal cables.<\/p>\n<p>Many iPods now have bromine-free casings and printed circuit board laminates. The company has committed to eliminate all uses of PVC and BFRs in its products by the end of 2008. It also provides examples of additional substances that it plans to eliminate, with timelines, such as arsenic in LCDs and mercury. But Apple still needs to provide a strong commitment to the principles of precaution and Individual Producer Responsibility, post its Restricted\/Banned Substance list on the web and improve geographical coverage of its take-back programs.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/planet4-usa-stateless\/2024\/12\/d154d6ea-greener-electronics-apple-7.pdf\">Download document<\/a><\/p>\n<p><b>Num. pages:<\/b> 5<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Download document<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":77,"featured_media":9537,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"ep_exclude_from_search":false,"p4_og_title":"","p4_og_description":"","p4_og_image":"","p4_og_image_id":"","p4_seo_canonical_url":"","p4_campaign_name":"","p4_local_project":"","p4_basket_name":"","p4_department":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[219],"tags":[188,64],"p4-page-type":[29],"class_list":["post-4329","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-toxics-campaign","tag-toxics","tag-clean-tech","p4-page-type-research"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v23.9 (Yoast SEO v23.9) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Greener Electronics Apple Ranking - 7th Edition - Greenpeace<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/usa\/greener-electronics-apple-7\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Greener Electronics Apple Ranking - 7th Edition\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Download document\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/usa\/greener-electronics-apple-7\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Greenpeace\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/greenpeaceusa\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2008-03-18T00:00:00+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2024-12-09T16:50:48+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/static\/planet4-usa-stateless\/2024\/11\/756954a4-gp041zw.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"1200\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"800\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:creator\" content=\"@greenpeaceusa\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:site\" content=\"@greenpeaceusa\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Greenpeace Staff\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"1 minute\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"Article\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/usa\/greener-electronics-apple-7\/#article\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/usa\/greener-electronics-apple-7\/\"},\"author\":{\"name\":\"Greenpeace Staff\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/usa\/#\/schema\/person\/2e289e91a0312e6d4e4d364719a17e24\"},\"headline\":\"Greener Electronics Apple Ranking &#8211;
