| Apple has refused to allow its iPhones to be included in the UK's first-ever green ranking scheme for mobile phones.
The scheme gives phones a rating of zero to five based on their environmental footprint and major manufacturers including Nokia, Sony Ericsson and Samsung have signed up. The network O2, which is launching the rating system this week, said 93 per cent of the devices its customers use will be covered.
The ranking scheme has been launched in partnership with sustainability advisers Forum for the Future and scores handsets on the ecological impact of their raw materials, the manufacturing process, packaging, how long they are likely to last, energy efficiency and how easy they are to reuse or recycle.
