The Japanese-Swedish is the only manufacturer to have exceeded the average score of 5 (of 10), with 5.1. For its part, Nokia moving into the third place ranking in our getting a 4.8.
To explain these notes particularly severe Greenpeace, the association said that most manufacturers focus on an area in which they wear their efforts to ignore all other environmental issues around the manufacture, distribution and recycling of a product .
This is the case with Sony Ericsson yet gets better than others. The No. 4 mobile phone gets high marks in the category of chemicals. Indeed, he banned substances PVC its mobile phones, and has committed since January 2008 to remove other pollutants.
