Sony Ericsson is in pole position despite barely scraping past the halfway mark with 5.1. It is the first company to score almost top marks on the chemicals criteria, missing this target by having unreasonably high threshold limits for brominated flame retardants in products that are allegedly BFR-free. All SE products are already PVC-free. SE has already met the challenge of the new criterion on chemicals, by banning antimony, beryllium and phthalates from new models launched since January 2008. The company scores relatively high on energy criteria because all of its products meet and exceed the Energy Star standard. On all other energy issues, it scores badly. Sony Ericsson falls down on e-waste issues scoring badly on all the criteria. It reports a pitiful recycling rate of 1%-13%.

Opinions of Greenpeace hold little value with me
 All scores are deliberately low in a lame attempt to pressure companies to change their ways.

...so, they're making it up as they go along! Either that or everyone just started making phones out of coal?

Whether or not the report is biased I think it does still highlight some important issues. For instance, a recycling rate of 1-13% is low, and the presence of brominate sin supposedly BFR free products is worrying.

Not to sound ignorant, but who actually cares? I mean im not talking about being green and eco friendly, just about a few phone makers who's data is probably an estimate or just made up altogether.
I just dont find that GreenPeace hold any value with me.. -------------------- |
