Greenpeace has laid into Apple’s iPhone, alleging the device isn’t eco-friendly enough – only to admit that the product not only meets the terms of Apple’s own pledges on the use of certain hazardous chemicals but doesn’t fall foul of European Reduction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) legislation either.

The NGO bases its claims on the analysis of a single US-sourced iPhone of which, it confessed, “we were able to analyse only a small selection of the different components and materials”. It tested a “selection” of 18 internal and external materials and components in a University of Exeter lab. Only two of those 18 elements were chosen for “more specific and detailed chemical analysis”.

Check out this article, it’s talking about Greenpeace analysis of the iPhone from an environmental impact standpoint. It raises some interesting points. Do Apple need to improve the iPhone from an environmental standpoint? Absolutely, but then so do Nokia, Motorola and all the other mobile/technology companies
