Many TV Manufacturers Don't Recycle Enough

摘要

The Electronics TakeBack Coalition (ETBC) released its TV Recycling Report Card in November 2008, available at www.TakeBackmyTV.com. The report graded major TV manufacturers on their efforts to establish national programs to take back and recycle their old TVs. Over 50% of the 17 companies got an F, because they have no recycling program in place. Sony got the highest grade, a B minus. Other companies scored C's and D's. "We hope that consumers who are shopping for a new TV ... will take the manufacturers' environmental record into account when they decide what to buy," said Barbara Kyle, National Coordinator of the ETBC.
