Apple says iPhone complies with eco standards
The iPhone meets the restrictions placed on hazardous substances, Apple said in the wake of a Greenpeace report published on Monday. MacWorld reports.
“Like all Apple products worldwide, iPhone complies with RoHS [Restriction of Hazardous Substances], the world’s toughest restrictions on toxic substances in electronics,” an Apple spokesperson, told Macworld. “As we have said, Apple will voluntarily eliminate the use of PVC and BFRs by the end of 2008.”
Apple CEO Steve Jobs explained the company’s position on the environment in an open letter earlier this year. In the letter Jobs said that Apple plans to completely eliminate the use of PVC and BFRs in its products by the end of 2008. He also outlined plans to eliminate or reduce the use of other chemicals including Arsenic and Mercury."
