Apple Removes Green Electronics Certification From Products

I guess you can check "environmentally friendly electronics" off Apple's complete line of products. Why? Well, it seems as though Apple actually requested its products be removed from the list because the company's design direction was "no longer consistent" with EPEAT requirements. Whatever the hell that means.

One of Apple?s newest products, the MacBook Pro with a high-resolution "Retina" display, was nearly impossible to fully disassemble, said Kyle Wiens, co-founder of iFixit.com, a website that provides directions for users to repair their own machines. The battery was glued to the case, and the glass display was glued to its back. The product, released just a month ago, had not been submitted for EPEAT certification, according to the organization.
