"but while Nintendo made some positive changes in banning phthalates, selling consoles with PVC-free wiring and monitoring use of other toxic materials, the company's abysmal record in e-waste and CO2 emissions dragged down its score." Managing e-waste.... How many people do you know throw out their Nintendo consoles? I am sure some do but I believe most don't. They usually are number 1 in reliability (aka their systems usually last). Their e-waste program is storage at Gamestop for those that trade their consoles in. |
It's good that they're making progress, even if they need to do more. I think with e-waste the issue is with recovering certain elements, though I don't know about the Nintendo situation specifically.
This is what I was referring to:
"Gaming giant Nintendo is the worst company for ensuring that materials used in its electronics are not linked to bloodshed in war-torn regions" http://news.mongabay.com/2012/0616-conflict-minerals.html#vAuzg3qTTbtPIsLU.99
Nintendo got the lowest score of ANY company, though it looks like Japanese companies in general aren't very good.
