Greener Electronics Sony Ranking - 6th Edition

Sony has made a dramatic rise to 3rd position, moving up from the bottom in the fourth version of the guide and from 6th in the last edition. This time the company has gained points for improving its reporting of the quantities of electronic waste it recycles.

The company receives a good score for providing many examples of products that are free from PVC plastic, including models of the VAIO notebook, Walkman, camcorders and digital cameras. Sony has commitments to phase out PVC and BFRs by 2010. Sony’s takeback and recycling program has good coverage, particularly in the US, and the company provides clear information to its customers about what to do with discarded products.
