Electronics companies race to be greener

...We first released our 'Guide to Greener Electronics' in August 2006. The guide ranks the 14 top manufacturers of personal computers and mobile phones according to their policies on toxic chemicals and recycling. The public ranking has been successful in spurring many companies to improve, and the second edition, released today, shows good overall industry progress and some major individual improvements in rank...The ranking is important because the amounts of toxic e-waste is growing every day. It often ends up dumped in the developing world. [refers to Acer, Apple, Fujitsu-Siemens, HP, Lenovo, LGE, Motorola, Nokia Samsung, Sony]
