This guide to greener electronics is published by Greenpeace. The most recognized companies are rated according to three issues: eliminating hazardous substances, takeback programs and recycling their products responsibly once they become obsolete, and reducing the climate impacts of their operations and products. The chart has been updated regularly since August 2006 where Nokia and Dell were the leaders and today Sony seams to be leading the way.

Posted: Sep 22nd, 2008 at 8:02 pmInteresting about Nintendo being in the Red so deeply. Of course I am more of a backpacker and hiker, so I guess I should not be so surprised. Sony looks to be much better according to this graph. “Neccessity being the father of invention” as is said often, India and China, graduating far more Engineers and Scientists than The USA and other countries should begin to achieve recognition in the design field.

Posted: Sep 24th, 2008 at 6:59 amMy understanding is that Nintendo opted to not take part in the study but Greenpeace essentially tried to bully them and therefore gave them a 0 instead. It was a bit of a controversy about 6 months ago (maybe a bit more, maybe a bit less… it’s been some time though) when this was last revised.
