Apple publishes environmental update
October 17th 2008
Apple has published a 2008 Environmental Update in which Steve Jobs details the efforts the company has made to remove toxic chemicals, recycle / take back and reduce the company's carbon footprint overall.
Yes, His Steveness talks about BFRs, which are gone, and the company's record on recycling (21-million pounds of ewaste), but the new thing in this latest update is the creation and inclusion of Product Environmental Reports, as well as a handful of other reports.
For example, Apple's MacBook Environmental Report details how this particular product measures up against standards and goals the company has set for energy efficiency, materials efficiency, reducing toxins and recycling.
Editor's note: Good for Apple and good for us.
