Greenpeace updated its ranking for greener electronics:
Apple is now 11th, however its evaluation does not evolve and remains 4.7/10 despite the release of Alu-based notebook models, and their LED displays. In fact Apple went up only because Sony dropped down from 5th to 12th due to issues in its procedures for discarding and treating hazardous production side products. Within one year, Apple's evaluation went up 0.6 point, and 2 points since 2006. As the company is now actively looking towards a greener Apple, we would not be surprised to see its evaluation reaching the top within the coming years. However, Apple is almost the greenest computer manufacturer, as the companies ranked higher are mostly producing TV and mobile phones and other type of electronic devices not necessarily containing the historical toxic compounds found in computers. To be noticed, HP, Lenovo and Dell massively dropped down as their promises for greener computers turned out to be only noise and never facts.
