Greenpeace: consoles too toxic
According to Greenpeace Nintendo’s Wii, Sony’s PS3 and Microsoft’s Xbox 360 all test positive for various hazardous chemicals.
Although the ‘Playing Dirty’ analysis reported that hazardous chemicals and materials were detected in the consoles, it also pointed out that each manufacturer had “avoided or reduced uses of individual hazardous substances in certain materials within their consoles.”
The Group commented “if manufacturers only looked at each other’s products, they’d quickly see ways of replacing their own dirty components with toxic-free materials.”
“A greener, cleaner game console is possible. There’s no excuse for playing dirty.”
