The latest Greenpeace Guide to Greener Electronics has been published, and makes fascinating reading for anyone geek who really cares about the effect that technology has upon the environment.
Greenpeace ranks the leading mobile and PC manufacturers on their global policies and practice with regards to eliminating harmful chemicals as well as taking responsibility for their products once they are discarded by consumers. Until the use of toxic substances within technology is completely eliminated, it is completely impossible to have completely safe recycling. That is the harsh truth, and the reason that Greenpeace wants to see major electronics companies cleaning up their act.
