Greenpeace wants to see electronics companies clean up their act.
Substituting harmful chemicals in the production of electronics will prevent worker exposure to these substances and contamination of communities that neighbour
production facilities. Eliminating harmful substances will also prevent leaching/offgassing of chemicals like brominated flame retardants (BFR) during use, and enable electronic scrap to be safely recycled. The presence of toxic substances in electronics perpetuates the toxic cycle – during reprocessing of electronic waste and by using contaminated secondary materials to make new products.
