CES 2010: Greenpeace Says Apple is Green
- 2 Comment
Greenpeace has released its Guide To Greener Electronics at CES 2010, and this time Apple is ranked in its list of environmentally friendly companies.
This is quite a contrast to last year, when Apple refused to participate in Greenpeace’s ratings, much to Greenpeace’s displeasure (and most likely the displeasure of customers concerned about the company’s impact on the environment). This year, Nokia and Sony Ericsson topped Greenpeace’s list of green companies. The companies are rated on categories such as use of hazardous substances, recycling for old products, and other efforts to reduce climate impact.
The rankings saw some changes and some recurring trends. Samsung fell from second to seventh place because of its failure to eliminate toxic chemicals from their products. The top five companies this year are Nokia, Sony Ericsson, Toshiba, Philips and Apple. Nintendo is the last in the rankings, as it has been in the past. Microsoft is second to last.
The entire report is available online at the Greenpeace website.
