DH News Service, Bangalore: In the latest Greenpeace Guide to Greener Electronics, Nokia bounced back to the first position in the ninth international edition as well as topped the fourth Indian edition amongst the MNCs here. Which are the brands close to going green? Do they have in place a take back practice? Do they support the legislation on the Restriction of the Use of Certain Hazardous Substances in Electrical and Electronic Equipment or RoHS? Do they manufacture clean or toxic free products? In the latest Greenpeace Guide to Greener Electronics, Nokia bounced back to the first position in the ninth international edition as well as topped the fourth Indian edition amongst the MNCs here. HCL ranked first amongst Indian brands with Wipro following second. In the international edition, 18 brands were surveyed and the Indian edition, 22 brands including four Indian brands were assessed. India has no policy on e-waste management and had 1,040 tones of e-waste per day in 2007 which is likely to go up five times which is 4,300 tonnes per day by 2012, said Greenpeace India Toxic Campaigner, Abhishek Pratap at a press meet on Tuesday. 3 tons of e-waste But the Authorised Recycling Factories get only about three tons of e-waste a day, translating to 99 per cent of it going to informal systems which can is not only harmful to the environment but also poses health hazards. Hence, clean products are the only way to go, he explained. The ranking is to empower the customer to choose green products, move the industry towards green electronics, create awareness for Green Electronics, act as a watchdog to prevent corporate misconduct and stimulate green marketing. Amongst the Indian brands HCL maintains the number one position amongst Indian brands with a 3.92 per cent/10. Reasons include commitment to phaseout phthalates, antimony and beryllium and provide more details on components of its products which are free of certain toxic chemicals. Wipro has been ranked second behind HCL as they came out with strong support for e-waste legislation based on Individual Producer Responsibility and committed to phasing out additional harmful chemicals like phthalates, antimony and beryllium from their products by 2010. Nokia bounced back to the top spot after their improved take back service and making significant progress in greening their products. Legislation As the government is reluctant to bring in the e-waste legislation, many Indian companies are coming forward to support it said Abhishek. A draft legislation is under discussion which will be presented to the government.
