APPLE Inc rejoined the EPEAT environmental ratings system on Friday, acknowledging that its decision to stop participating in a program that rates the green credentials of electronic products was a mistake.
The about-face came after reports that various United States government agencies and schools that use the EPEAT (Electronic Product Environmental Assessment Tool) certification system were considering dropping Apple's products, which include Macintosh computers and iPads.
"We've recently heard from many loyal Apple customers who were disappointed to learn that we had removed our products from the EPEAT ratings system. I recognize that this was a mistake," senior vice president of hardware engineering, Bob Mansfield, said in a letter on Apple's website.
EPEAT bills itself as a global registry to which consumers can turn for information when shopping for greener electronics.
