Greenest Tech company: Lenovo

The latest edition of Greenpeace's Guide to Greener Electronics, published Tuesday, is designed to help consumers and businesses gauge how green tech companies are. Rather than focusing on recycling, environmentally conscious customers should focus on the toxic chemicals used by suppliers, Greenpeace said. The guide ranks Lenovo as No. 1 out of 14 global manufacturers and the most improved. According to Greenpeace, Lenovo has made "progress on all criteria but lost points for not having products free of the worst chemicals on the market yet." Greenpeace cited improvements in Lenovo's position on environmentally conscious principles and responsibilities, as well as providing recycling or return services wherever its products are sold, as main factors for the Chinese company's performance. However, the PC maker still failed to score any points for making computers that are free of PVC (polyvinyl chloride) and BFRs (brominated flame retardants). source/full story: http://news.zdnet.com/2100-9584_22-6173695.html?part=rss&tag=feed&subj=zdnn
