Greenpeace Guide to Greener Electronics: Nokia Leads the Pack, Nintendo Falls Flat

It’s that time of year again–Greenpeace has released the 9th edition of The Guide to Greener Electronics. The guide scores companies based on a set of criteria for chemicals, e-waste, and energy. This year, Nokia regained its first place crown with a rating of 7 out of 10 points. The company performed well in a variety of areas– it has an excellent take-back policy in India, and all new products since 2005 are vinyl-plastic (PVC) free. Additionally, all models released after 2009 will be free of brominated flame retardants (BFR) and antimony trioxide. Image source: inhabitat.com. > Continue.
