HP promises greener PCs

"HP today unveiled proposals to make its IT kit more environmentally friendly by the start of 2007, banning the toxic brominated flame retardant (BFR) Tetrabromobisphenol A. The firm claimed that it eliminated more than 95 per cent of the BFRs used in the external case parts of its products more than 10 years ago, including PBDE and PBB which were subsequently among the substances covered by the EU Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) directive."
