The ranking criteria reflect Greenpeace’s demands to electronics companies to: -clean up their products by eliminating hazardous substances; and -take-back and recycle their products responsibly once they become obsolete. The two issues are connected: the use of harmful chemicals in electronic products prevents their safe recycling once the products are discarded. Given the increasing evidence of climate change and the urgency of addressing this issue, Greenpeace has added new energy criteria to encourage electronics companies to improve their corporate policies and practices with respect to Climate and Energy Thu, 26 Jun 2008 23:12:33 GMT http://www.greenpeace.org/new-zealand/press/reports/greenpeace-new-improved-rank http://www.greenpeace.org/new-zealand/press/reports/greenpeace-new-improved-rank http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/gpnzpress/~3/320031648/pedersen-s-parting-shot-nz-de At a time when New Zealanders are already struggling with soaring food prices, outgoing President of Federated Farmers Charlie Pedersen is calling for them to fork out even more to pay for the agriculture sector’s emissions.
