HP drops one place to number 11, after rising from 13th at the last ranking. HP now provides a timeline for eliminating polyvinyl chloride (PVC) plastic and all brominated flame retardants (BFRs) by 2009, but only in computing equipment – not for its entire product portfolio.HP also scores well for its support for Individual Producer Responsibility and was the first company to devise an electronic waste takeback/recycling metric based on a percentage of past sales. It still has to improve coverage of its voluntary take-back programme to score full marks on all waste criteria.
