You mean partners? Ok, but just tell me its because you think you have a competitive advantage or whatever. But we're talking about the environment here, and about holding folks accountable to how they treat the earth. Do you want to let them spew lead and all the other poisons in a dump somewhere, and let it seap into our water supply, and not ask any questions? Market? You mean partners?

I presume it is non existent since I haven't found one . I have rung there Australian operation and been referred to the apple store . I had a discussion there with a salesperson who wasn't really equipped to answer my questions . a few days later I received a link to an online form which treated me as though I had made an item complaint or a disputed transaction . I have now sent a formal request for a statement of policy via an email link provided there but received no response as of yet . I'm not very happy about there attitude .
