To demonstrates that it is technically and economically feasible to replace brominated flame retardants (BFR) and polyvinyl chloride (PVC) the environmental organization ChemSec‘s has prepared and published “Electronics without brominated flame retardants and PVC- a Market Overview“. This Market Overview lists over 500 products free from these substances.
Sony Ericsson was leading the way in this transition already the first Sony Ericsson product T68i was free from BFR in in boards, casings and chargers. We are now very pleased to see that many other companies are following and this makes it easier for consumers to make greener choices.
Let’s hope they also follow through on the other substances we have and are very close to phase out such as beryllium, antimony and all organic brominated and chlorinated compounds i.e. not only flame retardants and PVC.
