Full story: Companies Decide to go Green (1-Oct-07)

Greenpeace released its "Guide to Greener Electronics" in September 2007, which ranked 14 manufacturers of computers and mobile phones according to their policies on toxic chemicals and recycling.

The company rankings are in descending order: Nokia, Sony Ericsson, Dell, Lenovo, LG, Sony, Fujitsu-Siemens, Samsung, Motorola, Toshiba, Acer, Apple, HP and Panasonic.

Nokia has been on the top of the ladder since August 2006. Lenovo who has moved up the ladder from the lowest rank in August 2006 now ranks fourth. At the bottom of the ladder are Panasonic, HP and Apple.

HP is now in 13th place down from 6th. It has weakened its support for individual producer responsibility. It was the first company to devise an electronic waste take-back/recycling metric based on a percentage of sales, yet it has failed to provide timelines for the complete elimination of PVC (Plastic Polyvinyl Chloride) and all BFRs (Brominated Flame Retardants).
