Electronics sector not green enough?
Greenpeace campaigners have accused three of the largest electronics companies of 'breaking promises' to phase out toxic chemicals in 2009.
The activists claimed that HP, Lenova and Dell had between them failed to reduce or eliminate the use of pvc and brominated flame retardents (bfr).
However, Greenpeace praised Apple for following through on its assurances to make all of its products pvc and bfr free.
The findings have been published in Greenpeace's Guide to Greener Electronics". A spokesman warned: "Exposing electronics companies to public pressure is helping to green the industry. They could do much more, not only to clean up their own act, but to help the planet avoid runaway climate change.
