Computer companies are scum see where they rank

[W1nTry]

Green peace has put out a list of companies computer and otherwise that really ain't that Environmentally friendly. They give a list of the best and the worst, in order I believe. It was stated (another source) that in certain instances, disposal sites for computer related garbage produced enough potent acid to dissolve a penny in less than 1 hour... imagine that in ur water supply. Anyways heres the list in its glory:

Here is how the largest electronics companies rank on the toxic chemicals in their products. Removing toxic chemicals from products reduces pollution and makes reuse and recycling less hazardous and cheaper.

Companies at the top of the class are going further than required by EU law on hazardous substances (ROHS) that comes into force in July 2006. Those at the bottom have made no commitment other than the minimum required by law.

None of these companies have a global policy on electronic waste so this listing is based only on global policy on toxic chemicals in products. Click the names to contact the companies directly.
First in Class:

Sony - Committed to reduce, substitute and eliminate, wherever possible, the use of substances that are potentially hazardous to the environment. More info.

Nokia - Committed to phase out hazardous substances by end of 2006. More info.

Samsung - Committed to phase out hazardous substances with plans for substitution by end 2005. More info.

Sony Ericsson - Committed to phase out hazardous substances by end of 2005. More info.

The bad guys:

Apple - Phased out some additional toxic chemicals in some products.

Fujitsu-Siemens - Phased out some additional toxic chemicals in some products.

The really bad guys at the bottom of the class:

No commitment:

Dell 

HP/Compaq

Toshiba

Siemens

Panasonic

Motorola

IBM/Lenovo

LG
