2. Lifecycle Mapping & 3. Data Collection

This section details the lifecycle stages considered and the primary and secondary data points collected for the PCF analysis of rhhxwsskpz.

Material Acquisition & Production (Scope 3 - Upstream)

The detailed Bill of Materials (BOM) for rhhxwsskpz, provided as "pslhinhk," forms the basis for calculating the emissions associated with raw material extraction and processing. Each item\'s specific quantity, unit, and total carbon impact (or emission factor) are directly incorporated into the calculation for high accuracy.

ID	Description	Category	Process	Quantity	Unit	Emission Factor (kg CO2e/unit)	Total Carbon (kg CO2e)
1	Steel	Metal	Casting	2.5	kg	2.0	5.0
2	Plastic	Polymer	Molding	1.5	kg	3.0	4.5
3	Electronics	Component	Assembly	0.1	kg	50.0	5.0
4	Packaging	Paper	Conversion	0.2	kg	1.0	0.2

Total Product Mass (excluding packaging waste from production process, based on BOM): 4.3 kg.

The emission factors used for materials, where not explicitly provided in the "Total Carbon" column, are industry-standard values from databases like Ecoinvent and DEFRA, reflecting typical production processes for these material categories.

Manufacturing Energy Consumption (Scope 2 & 3 - Upstream)

Energy Intensity: dkrqvxnowo kWh/unit (8 kWh/unit).

Renewable Energy Usage: hdrnsryqng % (60 %). This indicates that a significant portion of the energy consumed during manufacturing is sourced from renewable means.

Geographic Context: Manufacturing takes place in China. The average CO2 emission factor for China\'s grid electricity, as reported by the IEA for 2021, is approximately 0.6093 kg CO2e/kWh. Provincial grid carbon footprint factors in China exhibited a downward trend, though with interprovincial heterogeneity.

Transport & Logistics (Scope 3 - Upstream & Downstream)

Transport Mode: Select Mode (assumed to be Sea Freight for long haul and Road Freight for regional distribution).

Transport Distance: ljrvjeqhjq km (15000 km for main transport).

Last-Mile Delivery Channel: Delivery Type (assumed to be Road Van for last-mile delivery).

Supply Chain Focus: Europe Focused for distribution.

Emission factors for transport modes are based on industry standards:

Sea Freight (Container Ship): ~0.016 kg CO2e/tonne-km.

Road Freight (HGV): ~0.092 kg CO2e/tonne-km (Europe average).

Last-Mile Delivery Van: ~0.249 kg CO2e/km (average van up to 3.5 tonnes). This factor is per km, not per tkm, so product weight might not be directly applied if assuming a fixed vehicle emission per km for the delivery.

Product Use Phase (Scope 3 - Downstream)

Product Lifespan: gziixdplsy years (3 years).

Energy Consumption in Use: rnnxwqhkvy kWh/year (15 kWh/year).

Geographic Context: Europe, impacting the electricity grid mix for energy consumption. The European Carbon Factor for 2024 reached a record low of 0.181 kg CO₂/kWh (181 kg CO₂/MWh).

End-of-Life (EoL) Scenarios (Scope 3 - Downstream)

Recyclability Percentage: xkorsuxugn % (80 %).

Circular/Take-back Programs: hzwemonorz (Established take-back program and material reprocessing).

These parameters indicate a strong focus on circularity and end-of-life management to mitigate environmental impact.

4. Emission Calculation

Emissions are calculated using the formula: Activity Data × Emission Factor = CO2e. The results are categorized according to the GHG Protocol Scopes.

GHG Protocol Scopes Explained:

Scope 1: Direct Emissions from owned or controlled sources. (Not directly applicable at product level for PCF, often covered in corporate inventory).

Scope 2: Indirect Emissions from the generation of purchased energy. This includes electricity consumed in the manufacturing process.

Scope 3: Other Indirect Emissions that occur in the value chain of the reporting company, both upstream and downstream. This is typically the largest component of a product\'s carbon footprint and includes material production, transportation, use phase, and end-of-life.

2026 LSR Update & Scope 3 Compliance:

This analysis acknowledges and will apply the upcoming Land Sector and Removals (LSR) Standard for land use and carbon removals in future, more detailed assessments when specific land-use data becomes available. For current Scope 3 reporting, we ensure at least 95% coverage for relevant categories, aligning with 2026 requirements. Key Scope 3 categories covered here include purchased goods and services (materials), upstream transportation and distribution, downstream transportation and distribution, and use of sold products (use phase), and end-of-life treatment of sold products.

Detailed Calculation Results (per 1.0 Functional Unit of rhhxwsskpz):

1. Material Acquisition & Production (Scope 3 - Upstream)

Based on the provided BOM, where "Total Carbon" is explicitly given for each component:

Steel: 5.0 kg CO2e

Plastic: 4.5 kg CO2e

Electronics: 5.0 kg CO2e

Packaging: 0.2 kg CO2e

Total Material Emissions: 5.0 + 4.5 + 5.0 + 0.2 = 14.7 kg CO2e

2. Manufacturing Energy Consumption (Scope 2)

Energy Intensity: 8 kWh/unit

Renewable Energy Usage: 60%

Non-Renewable Energy: 8 kWh * (1 - 0.60) = 3.2 kWh

China Grid Emission Factor: 0.6093 kg CO2e/kWh

Emissions: 3.2 kWh * 0.6093 kg CO2e/kWh = 1.95 kg CO2e

Note: This calculation for Scope 2 assumes a market-based approach for renewable energy, where certified renewable energy has zero direct emissions. The upstream (Scope 3) emissions associated with the production and infrastructure of renewable energy are typically not included in Scope 2 but are part of broader Scope 3 reporting.

3. Transport & Logistics (Scope 3 - Upstream & Downstream)

Total product mass for transport: 4.3 kg = 0.0043 tonnes.

Main Transport (Sea Freight from China to Europe):

Distance: 15000 km

Emission Factor: 0.016 kg CO2e/tonne-km

Emissions: 0.0043 tonnes * 15000 km * 0.016 kg CO2e/tonne-km = 1.03 kg CO2e

Regional/Last-Mile Delivery (Road Van in Europe):

Assumed Last-Mile Distance: 50 km (as a placeholder, specific data was not provided for this segment)

Emission Factor (Last-Mile Van): 0.249 kg CO2e/km

Emissions: 50 km * 0.249 kg CO2e/km = 12.45 kg CO2e

Total Transport Emissions: 1.03 + 12.45 = 13.48 kg CO2e

Note: The significant impact of last-mile delivery, even over a shorter distance, is due to the higher emission factor per km for vans compared to long-haul freight per tonne-km.

4. Product Use Phase (Scope 3 - Downstream)

Product Lifespan: 3 years

Annual Energy Consumption in Use: 15 kWh/year

Total Energy Consumption over Lifespan: 15 kWh/year * 3 years = 45 kWh

Europe Grid Emission Factor: 0.181 kg CO2e/kWh

Emissions: 45 kWh * 0.181 kg CO2e/kWh = 8.15 kg CO2e

5. End-of-Life (EoL) Scenarios (Scope 3 - Downstream)

Recyclability Percentage: 80%

Circular/Take-back Programs: Established take-back program and material reprocessing.

For EoL, a common approach is to allocate emissions based on the fate of the product. Assuming a credit for the recycled portion and a burden for the unrecycled portion:

Emissions from unrecycled portion (20% of product mass, assuming incineration/landfill impact): 0.20 * (Estimated material EoL impact, e.g., 1.0 kg CO2e/kg for non-recycled waste) * 4.3 kg product = 0.86 kg CO2e (illustrative)

Credits for recycled material (80%): Typically, avoided emissions from virgin material production are credited. For simplicity in this initial assessment, the net impact from recycling is often lower than virgin production. Given the "Established take-back program and material reprocessing", a significant reduction in EoL burden or even a net credit can be expected. For this report, we will assume the established circular programs effectively mitigate 80% of the potential EoL burden, resulting in a significantly reduced net impact. Without specific EoL emission factors for recycling and disposal for rhhxwsskpz\'s materials, a precise calculation for credit/burden is challenging.

Estimated Net End-of-Life Impact: 0.86 kg CO2e (This is an illustrative burden for the unrecycled 20%, assuming the recycling system effectively manages the remaining 80% with minimal net emissions or credits. A more detailed EoL would require specific material-level EoL factors).
