4.1. Lifecycle Stage Emissions Breakdown

4.1.1. Raw Material Acquisition & Pre-processing (Scope 3 - Upstream)

Calculated directly from the "Total Carbon" column in the Detailed BOM.

Material Impact (Aluminium Casing): 3.00 kgCO2e

Material Impact (ABS Plastic Housing): 0.70 kgCO2e

Material Impact (Printed Circuit Board): 1.50 kgCO2e

Material Impact (Copper Wiring): 0.20 kgCO2e

Material Impact (Glass Display Panel): 0.12 kgCO2e

Total Material Emissions: 5.52 kgCO2e

4.1.2. Manufacturing (Scope 1 & 2)

Manufacturing emissions are primarily driven by energy consumption.

Total Energy Consumption: 1.2 kWh/unit (iywhfqrjgt)

Renewable Energy Usage: 70% (hlvwrqeqgu)

Non-Renewable Energy Usage: 30%

Non-Renewable Electricity: 1.2 kWh * 0.30 = 0.36 kWh

Renewable Electricity: 1.2 kWh * 0.70 = 0.84 kWh

Emissions from Non-Renewable Electricity (Scope 2): 0.36 kWh * 0.6 kgCO2e/kWh (China Grid) = 0.216 kgCO2e

Emissions from Renewable Electricity (Scope 2 - Market-based): 0.84 kWh * 0.01 kgCO2e/kWh = 0.0084 kgCO2e

Total Manufacturing Energy Emissions: 0.2244 kgCO2e

Note: Scope 1 emissions (direct emissions from owned/controlled sources like on-site fuel combustion) are assumed to be negligible for this \'factory_gate\' boundary based on the provided parameters, focusing predominantly on purchased electricity for manufacturing.

4.1.3. Transportation (Scope 3 - Upstream & Downstream)

Inbound Logistics (Components to Factory - Scope 3 Upstream):

Assumed Product Weight for transport (sum of BOM items): 0.5 + 0.2 + (1.0 * estimated PCB weight 0.1) + 0.05 + 0.1 = 0.95 kg (approx 0.00095 tonnes)

Emissions: 0.00095 tonnes * 1500 km * 0.08 kgCO2e/tkm = 0.114 kgCO2e

Last-Mile Delivery (Product to Customer - Scope 3 Downstream):

Emissions: 1 parcel * 0.5 kgCO2e/parcel = 0.50 kgCO2e

Total Transportation Emissions: 0.114 + 0.50 = 0.614 kgCO2e

4.1.4. Use Phase (Scope 3 - Downstream)

Based on product lifespan and energy consumption.

Annual Energy Consumption: 5 kWh/year (zfleludksg)

Product Lifespan: 5 years (ouvgqprtjg)

Total Energy Consumption over Lifespan: 5 kWh/year * 5 years = 25 kWh

Emissions: 25 kWh * 0.4 kgCO2e/kWh (generic grid) = 10.00 kgCO2e

Total Use Phase Emissions: 10.00 kgCO2e

4.1.5. End-of-Life (EoL) (Scope 3 - Downstream)

Incorporates recyclability and circular economy impacts.

Total Product Weight: 0.95 kg (from Inbound Logistics assumption)

Recyclable Portion: 0.95 kg * 0.80 (hrrzfvutsr) = 0.76 kg

Non-Recyclable Portion: 0.95 kg * 0.20 = 0.19 kg

Emissions from Non-Recyclable Waste: 0.19 kg * 0.2 kgCO2e/kg (landfill) = 0.038 kgCO2e

Recycling Credit for Recyclable Portion: 0.76 kg * -2.0 kgCO2e/kg (recycled material credit) = -1.52 kgCO2e

Total End-of-Life Emissions: 0.038 - 1.52 = -1.482 kgCO2e (Net Removal/Avoided Emissions)

Note: The "Return & Refurbish Program" (\'dgonkeromw\') would further reduce the end-of-life impact by extending product life, but quantifying this accurately would require detailed program data beyond the scope of this initial PCF. The recycling credit already accounts for avoided virgin material production.
