It's good to see Apple reducing the use of toxic chemicals in the latest generation of the iPhone and providing more public information to customers and Apple should take these PVC-free accessoires (headphones, USB cables) and make them standard in all their products. However to equal or exceed standards set by Sony Ericsson and Nokia and be a leading company on toxic chemicals elimination, Apple still needs to eliminate other harmful substances (antimony, beryllium, phthalates) and make their products, including the next generation iPhone, completely PVC and BFR free.

The end of 2008 and 2009 is the date many electronics companies have set to eliminate toxic chemicals, will Apple be the first to make a truly green product?
