Following the criticism from environment groups, Apple Inc. said on wednesday that it would lead the competitors to make eco friendly non-toxic products.
This is the first time that Apple is revealing its future plans. Apple is planning to completely remove Arsenic from LCD displays by the end of 2008. Arsenic is used in LCD displays to prevent the formation of defects in the glass used for LCD. Mercury is already eliminated from iPODs as all iPODs utilize LED(Light Emitting Diodes ) instead of fluorescent lamps.
PolyVinyl Chloride(PVC) is a toxic substance found in computer parts and cables, Apple has already started eliminating PVC from its products and all products will be PVC and Brominated Flame Retardants(BFR) free by the end of 2008.
