Iza Kruszewska, Greenpeace Toxics Campaigner, said:

"Clearly, companies are racing to produce greener products. Steve Job's latest commitment to eliminate toxics materials, moved Apple up the chart and they now face a challenge, with the iPhone, to meet customer expectations to be the environmental leader Apple-lovers want."

More and more companies are providing information on products that are free from the worst chemicals. For example, as of March 2007, Panasonic has many examples of 100 percent PVC-free products on the market, including DVD players and recorders, home cinemas, video players, and now provides a list of products that are PVC-free. Meanwhile, Nokia, Sony Ericsson and Motorola are introducing increasing numbers of models that are also free from PVC and brominated flame retardants.

The Greenpeace Guide clearly demonstrates that companies are starting to act on their responsibility for taking back and recycling their own-branded waste, more and more extended voluntary programmes and providing information to customers on what to do with discarded electronics.
