Green Electronics

Report

Greenpeace’s ‘Guide to Greener Electronics’, version 8, published June 2008, ranks leading mobile phone, games console, TV and PC manufacturers — including Nokia, Sony Ericsson, Motorola, Apple, Samsung and others — on their policies around eliminating harmful chemicals, taking responsibility for products once discarded, and their impact on climate. Part of Greenpeace’s Toxic Tech campaign, the guide scores companies on publicly available information and direct communication, pushing manufacturers to substitute hazardous substances, responsibly recycle obsolete products, and improve climate and energy policies.
