A newcomer to the Guide at the last ranking, Sharp rises to number 14 from 15, by improving the information that it provides to customers on its take-back services. The company scores well on most of the chemicals criteria, already providing examples of models most of whose components are free of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) plastic and brominated flame retardants (BFRs). For example, all Sharp mobiles (sold in Japan) and many models of LCD TVs are free of PVC, except accessories.
\nSharp scores top marks for setting a timeline of end of 2010 by which it intends to eliminate PVC and all BFRs from its entire product portfolio. To improve its score, Sharp needs to sharpen up its policies and practices on e-waste.<\/span><\/p>\n
