An updated version of Greenpeace’s Guide to Greener Electronics<\/em>, which was published on Tuesday, charged that Apple "scores badly on almost all criteria" in a detailed survey of its environmental attitudes and practices, including recycling and phasing out the use of hazardous chemicals. <\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
When the guide was first published last September, Apple was ranked tenth; now it is ranked fourteenth out of 14. In first place on the list was the Chinese PC maker Lenovo.<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
Greenpeace rated each company out of 10 on its policies on recycling and use of toxic chemicals:<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
1: Lenovo 8<\/div>\n
2: Nokia 7.3<\/div>\n
3: Sony Ericsson 7.0<\/div>\n
