Greenpeace's Guide to Greener Electronics: September 2008
In the latest ranking of green electronics from Greenpeace, five companies have scored over the halfway mark, showing significant progress in making their products more energy efficient, easily recyclable, and with fewer toxic chemicals.
Nokia moved back into first place with the ninth issue of the report, scoring an even 7 out of 10 points. Nokia had been saddled with a penalty point in the rankings for the last nine months as a result of its poor takeback policies in India. The company's score reflects its rank as the top company for electronics takeback in India, as discovered by Greenpeace India researchers this past summer.
The Guide, which launched in August 2006 and is updated every three months to reflect changes made by companies in manufacturing, performance and takeback of their products. Overall, the researchers look at 15 criteria for each company, five based on the use of toxic chemicals, five based on takeback and recyclability of hardware, and five based on energy efficiency and greenhouse-gas related issues.
