Greenpeace International has released their updated evaluations of several electronics companies, and Nintendo joins the list for the first time. The list looks at the environmental performance of each company, grading on how effectively they “clean up their products by eliminating hazardous substances” and “takeback and recycle their products responsibly once they become obsolete.” How did rivals Sony and Microsoft score? Let’s take a look:

• Sony: More products free of toxic PVC and improved reporting on recycling and takeback especially in the US. Score: 7.3
• Microsoft: Long timeline for toxic chemicals elimination (2011) and poor takeback policy and practice. Score: 2.7

And Nintendo? Nintendo’s new this year, but that didn’t stop Greenpeace from handing out the first ever 0/10 score for a global company. Zeros across all criteria! Ouch!
