«Apple is leading, but HP is also very close, – commented Greenpeace activists Gerell Casey (Casey Harrell). – And here is the lack of initiative on the part of other companies shows that consumers and the environment continues to lose ".

The biggest drop in the rating of Green tested Samsung – from second place to seventh. Greenpeace criticized the Samsung because it did not remove their products from brominated flame retardants, that Greenpeace asked to do before 2010. But Samsung has initiated steps to remove toxic compounds from mobile phones. Before notebooks turn comes in 2011.

Dell, Lenovo and LG also worsened the position: they promised to take some measures, but did not. Good situation for Nokia and Sony Ericsson.
