Greener electronics guide

November 27th, 2007

Greenpeace published a new Greener electronics guide, this is the 6th version of the list of producing companies and their polluting manufacturing ways.

The list gives the electronics market a view of who’s the most polluting company at the moment. Its based on the producing of components and how much toxic waste is created with this process. In this edition Greenpeace included producers of game consoles and televisions, which didn’t make it popular by Phillips and Nintendo, they sunk to the lowest positions ever on the list. Microsoft isn’t much better, Sony Ericsson is the cleanest producer and pushed Nokia downwards. Nokia got penalized for not giving the correct numbers and forgetting to mention the new recycling rules to their departments in a lot of third world countries.

One positive point on behalf of Nintendo, Greenpeace didn’t measure energy levels used in production, Nintendo is one of the cleanliest producers in that segment.
