One of Greenpeace’s most important campaigns is to push electronics companies to go green. Here is the latest report.
Samsung and Toshiba new leaders in greener electronics ranking | Greenpeace USA:
The Greener Electronics Guide is our way of getting the electronics industry to face up to the problem of e-waste. We want manufacturers to get rid of harmful chemicals in their products. We want to see an end to the stories of unprotected child laborers scavenging mountains of cast-off gadgets created by society’s gizmo-loving ways.
The Guide ranks top market leaders of the mobile phone, computer, TV and games console markets according to their policies and practices on toxic chemicals and takeback. Samsung and Toshiba share top spot with 7.7/10 closely followed by Nokia, Sony, Dell and Lenovo all on 7.3. Apple continues its steady rise due to new products like the MacBook Air with less toxic chemicals helping boost Apple to 6.7.

Thanks for this post and cheers to all those electronic companies who have started to go green. We should all do our part to help the environment — big or small. In this case, these companies are doing a BIG part, since we rely on them so much for our “electronic” needs. I work with a company that is always on the look out for the environment.
