Apple no longer accepts United States green product certifications


A few days ago, Apple offered to have them certified by green 39 product (including desktops, monitors and notebooks) removed from the list of EPEAT, EPEAT is by the United States Government supports a specific enumerated list of green electronic products. Almost all manufacturers for their products access to the list and are proud of. Apple's decision caused a lot of people worry that even United States Environmental Protection Department immediately decided not to buy Mac products in San Francisco, and San Francisco's education sector, government agencies and other large enterprises would no longer buy Mac products in theory. We even posted on our website each product's greenhouse gas emissions, and some important environmental protection EPEAT does not measure--such as the removal of toxic substances, we also do very good. Say Apple believes that their products or even beyond EPEAT criterion, particularly in respect of removal of toxic substances and other environmental protection.

Currently Apple has not publicly called for the Elimination of EPEAT green product certification reasons, but media speculation is the reluctance of Apple and other manufacturers, or EPEAT existing standards do not reflect Apple's efforts in environmental protection. In fact, a member of the EPEAT Board of Directors in March this year also recognized their standards a bit tired. Another challenge on the Apple, EPEAT has expressed official regret, Frisbee, the Organization's Chief Executive said in an interview with the Wall Street Journal reporter: they (Apple) said that their design will no longer follow the EPEAT requirements. They used to be our very important supporters, now that they no longer want to use this standard to measure their products, we also deeply regret.
