Despite gaining extra points for some models of laptops produced without brominated flame retardants (BFRs) and EcoMark-certified products without polyvinyl chloride (PVC), Toshiba has still not committed to eliminating all uses of PVC and BFRs. The company also loses points for its lack of support for Individual Producer Responsibility and its lack of information for customers on what to do with their discarded products. Toshiba drops to second from bottom in the ranking.
