We’ve been showing you lots of eco friendly devices over time as more and more companies are trying to get their R&D departments to come up with eco friendlier products. We’ve seen the future corn made cell phone from Samsung and the trash made cell phone from Nokia. In the mean time Greenpeace has come up with the ‘Guide to Greener Electronics’ ranking where Sony and Sony Ericsson are top of the class. Somewhere in the middle we’ve spotted Apple and waaaay at the end there’s Nintendo.

Sony Ericsson got a score of 5.1 out of 10. So they are just at mid way. Poor Nintendo. Nokia had a 4.8 score if you are curious about it.

As we’ve shown you before, gadgets companies are trying to eliminate brominated flame retardants or BFR from their cell phone lines. Same thing goes for PVC. Sony Ericsson has already taken PVC out but BFR traces can be still found in their products. Sony Ericsson has eliminated antimony, beryllium and phthalates from new models since January 2008. I am no chemist but that must be sure a good news. What they need to work on is their recycling policy. Apparently they aren’t good at all at recycling with a 1%-13% recycling rate.
