Apple has moved up the list of companies featured in Greenpeace’s latest Guide to Greener Electronics. Apple, which was 14th in past rankings, moved up to 10th in the latest set, scoring a 4.7 out of ten.
Fellow mobile handset producers Nokia, Samsung, and Sony Ericsson top the list in first, second, and third places, respectively. According to Greenpeace, the company is doing well on chemicals elimination and has improved its recycling efforts, but still ranks as “poor” on energy; the environmental group cited the company as “bad” for little use of recycled plastic content in its products, but somewhat amusingly noted that certain cases available for its products did use recycled materials.
