Samsung, while maintaining its score from the previous edition, has now moved from 2nd position to joint 1st. The company scores top marks on most of the chemicals criteria and is now bringing products on the market that are free from the worst chemicals; all new models of LCD

\nSamsung has also improved its reporting on the recycling of obsolete products and supplies good information to consumers on what to do with discarded products \u2013 at least for those products for which Samsung offers a take-back service. On the down side, it loses points for providing
\nvoluntary take-back of electronic waste in only a few countries and for only some product groups.<\/span><\/p>\n
