Greenpeace has accused the US green IT labelling scheme EPEAT of “caving in” to pressure from leading manufacturers and approving a number of “ultra-thin” notebooks that will prove difficult to recycle.
EPEAT announced last week that it had undertaken a thorough review of five different “ultra-thin” notebooks from Apple, Lenovo, Samsung and Toshiba, including the new MacBook Pro with Retina Display, and concluded they could remain on the EPEAT registry.
