This year’s annual Greenpeace “Guide to Greener Electronics” has been released, and it is a mixed bag. The lowest scores are higher than they were last year, but the highest scores are lower. Nokia is still at the top. In 2009, they were at 7.45, but in 2010 they are down to 7.3.
Samsung, which was in second place last year, dropped significantly down to a tie for 7th place because of penalty points they were assessed for “backtracking on its commitment to eliminate brominated flame retardants (BFRs) in new models of all products by January 2010 and PVC by end of 2010.”
Most of the rest stayed about where they were. Sony Ericsson, Apple and Sony are a few that moved up. HP, Fujitsu, and Nintendo also improved, but are still near the bottom of the list.
