The new MacBook Pros that Apple has developed are the most “eco friendly” laptops that are available on the market today. The whole idea behind this development was that when people went to get a new laptop most of the time they would just throw the old one away. With the new MacBook Pros if you ever decide to get rid of it, it is completely recyclable.
Here is what Apple had to say about the toxins used in their new laptops: Apple has worked hard to eliminate many of the toxins that are a common part of notebook manufacturing. Take, for example, the mercury used in CCFL backlights and the arsenic contained in the glass of traditional LCD displays. Apple engineers removed both by choosing mercury-free LED technology and arsenic-free glass. They also removed brominated flame retardants (BFRs) and polyvinyl chloride (PVC) from circuit boards, internal cables, connectors, insulators, shock mounts, adhesives, and more. Apple has removed these toxins from all new MacBook Pro notebooks, and we’ve done the same for the new MacBook Air, iMac, Mac Pro, and Mac mini; Apple LED Cinema Display; and the iPod touch, iPod classic, iPod nano, iPod shuffle, and iPhone 3G.
They also said the following about the recyclability of their new laptops: MacBook Pro notebooks use a precision unibody enclosure that is formed from a single piece of solid, recyclable aluminum, replacing dozens of parts. The display is made of recyclable glass. Both materials are very desirable to recyclers, which means the raw materials used in the new MacBook Pro can be reused in other products.
These are the currently the best laptops for the environment and Apple keeps pushing the boundaries of eco friendly products.
