HP, Lenovo, and Dell havent fared too badly in some of Greenpeaces previous e-waste reports, but it looks like three companies have fallen well short of the organizations expectations this time around, with each getting called out for failing to live up to their promises. Specifically, all three had said that they would eliminate vinyl plastic (PVC) and brominated flame retardants (BFRs) in their products by the end of this year, but theyve now apparently told Greenpeace that they wont be able to meet that timeline, and only Lenovo has come forward set a new deadline (the end of 2010). The big winner, on the other hand, is Philips, which has jumped from 15th place to 4th as a result of some new recycling initiatives, prompted at least in part by public pressure. And, as you can see above, Nintendo is once again dead last, although were pretty sure thats simply a result of sheer mass at this point.
