Project PDA

The environmental organization Greenpeace has led to the CES electronics show in Las Vegas to update its report on environmentally friendly electronics articles published. The results of the study: There is progress compared to last year, but really none of the organic products. In fact, according to Casey Harrell, the number of green products increased. "But consumers still have only the choice of devices, which are a kind of green, but in a different gray."

Overall, Greenpeace 50 products from 15 participating manufacturers analyzed. Among them were cell phones, smart phones, televisions, monitors, notebooks, complete computer and game console. The title as a green cell phone was the Samsung F268, a slider with a housing made of bio-plastics, but only in Asia is sold. WINNERS for smartphones is the Nokia 6210 Navigator. Several companies, including Apple, Asus and Microsoft have to participate in the study rejected.

Greenpeace examined the equipment on toxic chemicals, energy efficiency, durability, and the energy consumed in the manufacture, relied on the assessment of the products, however, on information from the manufacturers. The better the equipment in their respective categories sections, the more points there were. High ten points each device could attain. Extra points awarded environmentalists for innovation. Although the products are better than in 2007, managed again this year no device more than seven points.
