The environmental report card for the new MacBook Pro is looking pretty great. It has an ultra-green battery that can be recharged up to 1,000 times, and recycled at the end of its use.

The MacBook Pro is arsenic-free, brominated flame retardant-free, mercury-free, PVC-free, highly recyclable, has Electronic Product Environmental Assessment Tool Gold certification, and on top of it all, packaging is 34 percent smaller.
