It scores top marks on chemicals but has yet to start selling products free of PVC and brominated flame retardants (BFRs). <\/p>\n<p>Acer has improved communication of its waste policy and practice but still needs to do more on providing voluntary takeback and recycling of its end-of-life products. The only change since the last edition of the Guide is that consumers in India no longer need to pay 1000 Rupees (about $25) for the return of their PC for recycling \u2013 recycling is now free, but shipping costs are still incurred. Acer has yet to report on recycling rates as a percentage of past sales.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/planet4-usa-stateless\/2024\/12\/d35f1612-greener-electronics-acer-ranki-6.pdf\">Download document<\/a><\/p>\n<p><b>Num. pages:<\/b> 4<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Download document<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":77,"featured_media":9189,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"ep_exclude_from_search":false,"p4_og_title":"","p4_og_description":"","p4_og_image":"","p4_og_image_id":"","p4_seo_canonical_url":"","p4_campaign_name":"","p4_local_project":"","p4_basket_name":"","p4_department":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[219],"tags":[188,64],"p4-page-type":[29],"class_list":["post-4363","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-toxics-campaign","tag-toxics","tag-clean-tech","p4-page-type-research"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v23.9 (Yoast SEO v23.9) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Greener electronics Acer Ranking - 6th Edition - Greenpeace<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/usa\/greener-electronics-acer-ranki-6\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Greener electronics Acer Ranking - 6th Edition\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Download document\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/usa\/greener-electronics-acer-ranki-6\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Greenpeace\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/greenpeaceusa\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2007-11-27T00:00:00+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2024-12-09T16:53:08+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/static\/planet4-usa-stateless\/2024\/11\/39dd13ad-gp0fch.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"1200\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"800\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:creator\" content=\"@greenpeaceusa\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:site\" content=\"@greenpeaceusa\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Greenpeace Staff\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"1 minute\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"Article\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/usa\/greener-electronics-acer-ranki-6\/#article\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/usa\/greener-electronics-acer-ranki-6\/\"},\"author\":{\"name\":\"Greenpeace Staff\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/usa\/#\/schema\/person\/2e289e91a0312e6d4e4d364719a17e24\"},\"headline\":\"Greener electronics Acer Ranking &#8211;
