Make Apple More Green : A Greener Apple

On January 19, 2009, in Uncategorized, by Dito Delacroix

The fact, not just Apple .. almost all manufacturers of electronic waste a lot of hazardous wasted. As a Mac user, go ahead Greenpeace support this program. For a more green earth.

For you who love on the Apple product, this write must read. Currently, products from Apple Ipod to Macbook sold to the market. This is not aimed to topple Apple, but for the press in order to make the product more friendly to the earth.

Since the first time, I am addicted to Apple Macintosh products. A stable performance and easy to use makes me chose mac as daily life. But not how long and I was quite disappointed to read the Apple site at Greenpeace. In the site, exposed the fact that Apple is one of the producers that are not friendly to the environtment.

Chemicals that are dangerous to this day is used by Apple in the Ipod and Macbook products are Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) and Brominated Fire Retardants (BFRs).

Take the example of the toxic plastic Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC). Other companies have set a date to remove PVC from their products. Apple has not. Major new product lines like the iPod nano and MacBook still contain PVC.

This material is very dangerous and difficult to be recycled. If burned, it will remove the substance Chlorine is harmful to the environment. Waste products from Apple was much to be removed some areas in Asia. In addition, Apple is still using some of the Mercury products. Does not believe? If you have a Macbook (either pro or not), try to see the packaging. Noted that the product still contains hazardous materials are.

Fortunately, some time ago, Steve Jobs has promised to start the second product is dangerous in all Apple products are starting the end of 2008.

If you are a Mac lover, then the legal obligation to support this campaign!

I actually thought Apple were one of the most green companies out there in the computer industry. I don't know whether I got the impression from their commercials or somewhere else but I'm glad that you have taught me otherwise. Mikael's Recent post…Quick Care Pet Insurance Secrets Revealed

There are a few things i never really understood about IT&C companies. First of all, why cheapen yourself to use dangerous materials. This line of business always brings a lot of money so why must they be greedy and use hazmats that will eventually lead to them spending more rather then gaining more. 2nd of all, if you absolutely have to use hazardous materials, why make it a problem? Why don't you respect your obligation as a producer? State laws mention that the producer is responsible for the recycling of that a product they made. This doesn't just generate additional revenue but also builds up your name ultimately gaining a title like 'environmental company' or 'green company' and all that, with little to no help, which again, all it does is bring you more customers which means more money. So basically, they find themselves at turning points where they can make everything better for everyone, and even better for themselves, why shouldn't day? I mean, new products, old garbage, recycling, new raw materials, new revenue, better publicity, better image, more clients, more workers, more jobs, more money. So as you can see, it all works out best for EVERYONE.
