Besides of several devices with 3D technology that were introduced at the Consumer Electronics Show 2010, the “green” products were also prominently featured in this edition of the trade show.

Some days ago, new eco-friendly products were exhibited in Las Vegas. They range from basic solar chargers to computers to even a bike. Those products also will have a participation at The Greener Gadgets Conference that will take place on February 25, 2010 in New York.

Among other gadgets, the CES included energy-saving products that allow to decrease greenhouse effect gas emissions as well as some products with less concentration of mercury, less emission of carbon dioxide (CO2), and a decreased use of toxic substances. On the other hand, some participants also presented hydrogen-based products where water vapor is produced in order to operate, so the air pollution is minimal. For example: A car with an electric engine and a hydrogen fuel battery would release zero pollution into the air.

However, in spite of the efforts to produce these devices and products, apparently some companies need to have a stronger commitment to help protect our planet. According to the last Greenpeace report about electronic industry, some companies like Toshiba, Sony Ericsson and Nokia are the most ecological firms (report of January 2010). But other companies like Nintendo, Lenovo, Microsoft and Fujitsu are not having good positions in the “greener electronics ranking”.
