August 2006 saw Greenpeace release a “Guide to Greener Electronics” ranking manufacturers of computers and mobile phones, according to their policies on toxic chemicals and recycling. Dell received the highest ranking for a computer manufacturer coming in third just above Lenovo who were ranked forth. Looking slightly further down the table Fujitsu-Siemens were seen to be seventh, Apple twelfth and HP thirteenth (dropping seven places from the previous year).
HP is now in 13th place down from 6th. It has weakened its support for individual producer responsibility and has provided a substitution timeline for future substances. It was the first company to devise an electronic waste take-back/recycling metric based on a percentage of sales. HP failed to provide timelines for the complete elimination of PVC and all BFRs.
