Use Phase (Scope 3, Category 11): This constitutes the largest portion of the carbon footprint at 12.500 kgCO2e/unit, representing approximately 84% of the total. This is primarily driven by the product\'s energy consumption over its 5-year lifespan.

Purchased Electricity for Manufacturing (Scope 2): At 2.063 kgCO2e/unit, this is the second most significant contributor, accounting for about 14% of the total footprint, even with 75% renewable energy usage. The remaining 25% from the China grid mix still presents a substantial impact.

Purchased Goods and Services (Scope 3, Category 1): Material production accounts for 0.729 kgCO2e/unit, approximately 5% of the total. The Lithium-ion Battery and ABS Plastic Casing are notable contributors within this category.

End-of-Life (Scope 3, Category 12): This stage provides a net carbon credit (-0.705 kgCO2e/unit) due to the high recyclability rate and assumed avoided emissions from virgin material production, demonstrating the positive impact of circular economy initiatives.

4.2. Reliability and Data Gaps

The reliability of this PCF relies on the accuracy of the primary data provided and the industry-average secondary emission factors used.

Strengths: High-detail BOM with specific quantities, customization of energy usage, and incorporation of specific logistics and EoL scenarios enhance the accuracy of the assessment. Strict adherence to GHG Protocol and 95% Scope 3 coverage adds credibility.

Limitations/Data Gaps:

Generic emission factors were used for some complex electronic components (MCU, PCB) due to limited public data availability, which can vary significantly by manufacturer and specific production processes.

While renewable energy usage for manufacturing is considered, the specific source and its additionality are not detailed, impacting the precise Scope 2 calculation.

The assumed electricity grid mixes for China and Europe are averages and can fluctuate annually based on energy policy and supply.

The actual return rate (60%) for take-back programs, while positive, means 40% of potentially recyclable products might not enter the circular system.

Specific land use and carbon removal data required by the 2026 LSR Standard was not available for direct integration into this PCF, leading to a qualitative acknowledgment.
