Any colour, as long as it’s green
Greenpeace International has compiled a list of the greenest consumer electronic products on the market.
Fifty submissions from 15 major electronics brands were evaluated on aspects such as hazardous chemicals, energy efficiency and overall product lifecycle. Greenpeace established that while most products had a smaller environmental footprint than those sold a year ago, the industry still has a long way to go.
A Greenpeace spokesman said: “The electronics industry is heading in the right direction. To stay in the race to a green product, every company needs to make the progress made with their greenest products and apply that standard across the board to all of its product lines. A few expensive niche products are not enough.”
