Main Findings Progress Being Made Product category leaders’ scores are increasing – no grade inflation! Few years ago, scores closer to zero than five Competition heating up; scores tightening top to bottom, race is on More products eliminating use of toxic chemicals Most products are far exceeding Energy Star standards for energy efficiency Niche to mainstream: Previous innovations (LED lights) becoming more common place Top scorer nearing the realm of truly green product: Lenovo L2440x LCD monitor, 6.9 points

Progress Being Made

Product category leaders’ scores are increasing – no grade inflation!

Few years ago, scores closer to zero than five

Competition heating up; scores tightening top to bottom, race is on

More products eliminating use of toxic chemicals

Most products are far exceeding Energy Star standards for energy efficiency

Niche to mainstream:

Previous innovations (LED lights) becoming more common place

Top scorer nearing the realm of truly green product:

Lenovo L2440x LCD monitor, 6.9 points

Main Findings Continued Progress Still Needed Plenty of room for improvement in all categories Take-back programs should drive increased use of post-consumer plastic Mobile and Smart Phone performance are stagnating Green products need to be better marketed More companies tracking energy used to make products; international standards needed Consumers still have to choose between green in one area, grey in another No need to trade off one green feature for another Greener products are possible now: combing best green practices of each submitted product would produce scores in 7 to 8.5 range

Progress Still Needed

Plenty of room for improvement in all categories

Take-back programs should drive increased use of post-consumer plastic

Mobile and Smart Phone performance are stagnating

Green products need to be better marketed

More companies tracking energy used to make products; international standards needed

Consumers still have to choose between green in one area, grey in another

No need to trade off one green feature for another

Greener products are possible now: combing best green practices of each submitted product would produce scores in 7 to 8.5 range

The Way Forward Holistic Approach to Production will create products that are C lean, Energy-Efficient, Recyclable and Durable Green Products Go Beyond Legal Requirements Energy Issues Beyond Energy Star; exceed ES requirements by at least 50% and aim for Zero Watt and energy generating products Provide consumers with clearer power saving options Track carbon footprint of products down the supply chain and reduce through efficiency, renewable energy uptake and gold standard offsetting as last resort

Holistic Approach to Production will create products that are C lean, Energy-Efficient, Recyclable and Durable

Green Products Go Beyond Legal Requirements

Energy Issues

Beyond Energy Star; exceed ES requirements by at least 50% and aim for Zero Watt and energy generating products

Provide consumers with clearer power saving options

Track carbon footprint of products down the supply chain and reduce through efficiency, renewable energy uptake and gold standard offsetting as last resort

The Way Forward Product Lifecycle Strong Industry wide standards: recyclability, energy inputs, leading to full lifecycle analysis Extend the lifecycle – no planned obsolescence! Design for full cradle-to-cradle responsibility Reconsider business models Toxic Chemicals ID and substitute chemicals of concern without waiting Phase out of PVC and BFRs; make free mean free Strengthen RoHS, use no RoHS exemptions No double standards; consistent global change

Product Lifecycle

Strong Industry wide standards: recyclability, energy inputs, leading to full lifecycle analysis

Extend the lifecycle – no planned obsolescence!

Design for full cradle-to-cradle responsibility

Reconsider business models

Toxic Chemicals

ID and substitute chemicals of concern without waiting

Phase out of PVC and BFRs; make free mean free

Strengthen RoHS, use no RoHS exemptions

No double standards; consistent global change
