Greenpeace has ranked Apple 11th in its Guide to Greener Electronics. The organization ranks the top market leaders of electronics on their policies and practices on toxic chemicals and take-back.

Apple scored a 4.5 out of possible 10 because of its policy of putting products on the market free of BFRs and PVC. The MacBook Air's mercury free LCD display and bromine-free iPod enclosures.

Apple was dinged for not improving the environmental performance of the widely popular iPhone.

The top scoring companies, Sony and Sony Ericsson, only scored slightly above a 5 according to the guide.

A quick look at the December 2007 Greener Guide shows a global drop by most of the companies.

Our recommendation to electronics companies wanting to score a 10 on the next guide. Start manufacturing oxygen and reduce your waste to only unicorn dreams.
