Apple has finally moved up from being the lowest-ranked electronics manufacturer in the latest Greenpeace Guide to Greener Electronics – published today - and may start to rival the other ‘greener’ companies if its much-awaited iPhone becomes the company’s first environmentally friendly product.

On the other sire while Sony is the biggest loser in the race, languishing at the bottom of the ranking along with LG, both penalized for ‘double standards’ on their waste policies.

See how all the companies line up.

This is a cool article: electonic junk really fills up landfills, even though some of us use our computers and mobiles until they fall to pieces. It's interesting that there are no 9's or 10's.
