Chief Executive Officer Steve Jobs, responding to critics of the computer maker's environmental practices, said Apple will recycle more as part of a plan to be a ``greener'' company. ``Apple has been criticized by some environmental organizations for not being a leader in removing toxic chemicals from its new products and for not aggressively or properly recycling its old products,'' Jobs wrote in an essay called ``A Greener Apple'' on the Cupertino, California-based company's Web site. ``It is certainly clear that we have failed to communicate the things we are doing well.'' The company began recycling in 1994 and today has such programs in 82 percent of the countries where it sells Macintosh computers and iPod music players, Jobs said in the five-page essay. By the end of this year, he plans to increase that number to 93 percent. --Editor: Turner Story illustration: To graph Apple's stock performance, see {AAPL US <Equity> GP <GO>}.
