Greenpeace: Toshiba And Samsung The Greenest HDTV Manufacturers

Greenpeace has released its latest Greener Electronics Guide adding TV manufacturers Sharp and Philips to the mix. HDTV makers Samsung and Toshiba share the top spot, both scoring a 7.7 points out of a possible 10 based on "their policies and practices on toxic chemicals and takeback". Nintendo, which scored a 0 in the last report released November 2007 improved slightly, scoring a 0.3 to take dead last by several miles.

The Greener Electronics Guide is a way of forcing manufacturers to deal with e-waste issues, according to Greenpeace, and since its inception in August 2006 many of the ranked companies have vastly improved their environmental policies and practices fearing the negative publicity the report could bring them.
