New leaders in the greener electronics ranking
March 22, 2008
The electronic industry still use a lot of harmful chemicals to the environment but the situation is getting better has some companies make an effort to produce “greener” products. By greener products I mean products whit less harmful chemicals and easily recyclable.
In the recyclable field we have to consider as well the structures made to recycle the products and their efficiency.
The results of this study made by Greenpeace in March 2008 show Nintendo with the worst score, being the company that takes less care in producing green electronics. The top green companies are Samsung and Toshiba due to their improvements in this area followed by Nokia, Sony, Lenovo and dell. In the really not so green corner we have Panasonic, Philips, Microsoft, Sharp and Acer.
So, if you consider the harm products make to the environment when you buy them you should avoid the not so green products because the pollution made by this products is quite high and the rapid proliferation of these products doesn’t help too.
