Greenpeace Updates its E-Waste Report of Manufacturers

Tuesday, March 31 2009

I once posted a news story on how well computer manufacturers are treating the environment according to the Greenpeace organization. Well I'm going to give you a little update on that story today. Last time Nintendo was the worst among worst when talking "green" and this year it is strengthening its position even more. From zero to eleven in being "green" (zero means worst) Nintendo scores the whooping 0. HP, Microsoft, Lenovo and Dell are next to have poor scores when it comes to preserving the world we live in. According to Greenpeace only Apple is "truly kicking the habit", maybe that's because they have an apple as their logo. Philips learned a lesson from last Greenpeace research and the company jumps from 15th to 4th place this year, well done Philips. The two best "green" manufacturers as of March 31st 2009 are Samsung and Nokia.

Their making computer components more expensive imo. I know they are a protest group but they are way too invasive.

Anyways, I prefer Nokia and Samsung stuff even if they weren't green, this just gives me another reason to like them :)

there is quite a lot of info here that describes how they made the rankings. http://www.greenpeace.org/raw/content/international/press/reports/improved-criteria-explained.pdf
I can't say that I agree with their assessments.
I guess good on em for being brave enough to post it all up.
