We covered the reasons why Nintendo got zero last time around [2]. Since then we have not received any response from Nintendo aside from one person from its UK PR department. Nintendo has been sending out a pretty lame response [3] to emails on the subject, which tells you mainly about office recycling.

Nintendo has added to its one meager FAQ [4] on the environment some information on product recycling. There is now one phone number for US customers where eventually an operator refers you to the EPA for recycling options. That doesn't compare very well to other electronics makers. Sony, for example, offers much better recycling services [5].

Nintendo remains the odd one out of the 18 companies in the Guide, without any public time lines to eliminate the worst toxic chemicals or a global recycling policy for the millions of products it sells every year. If Nintendo has better policies why not make them public like the other 17 companies in the Guide?

You can keep up the pressure on Nintendo to improve by writing to them [6].
