Greenpeace ranks Nintendo lowest in Guide to Greener Electronics
Posted on April 1, 2009 by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News
Here’s a huge surprise: Nintendo has been ranked the lowest on Greenpeace’s latest Guide to Greener Electronics report. Greenpeace has given Nintendo just a 0.8 score out of ten and cites that the company scored zero “on all e-waste criteria.”
“Nintendo remains in last place with a pitiful 0.8 points out of 10, scoring zero on all e-waste criteria. The company has banned phthalates and is monitoring use of antimony and beryllium and although it is endeavouring to eliminate the use of PVC, it has not set a timeline for its phase out. Nintendo discloses carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from its own operations and commits to cutting CO2emissions and other greenhouse gases by 2% over each previous year. However, Nintendo admits that an increase in business led to a 6% rise in CO2 emissions in 2006.” – Greenpeace
