Executive Summary

This report presents a high-detail Product Carbon Footprint (PCF) analysis for the product "EcoGadget Pro" (mjlqllgrnt) manufactured by lpgnmlsykx. The analysis adheres to the Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Protocol Product Standard, covering the full lifecycle from raw material acquisition to end-of-life. The primary objective is to quantify greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) expressed as carbon dioxide equivalents (CO2e) and identify emission hotspots across the product\'s value chain. This assessment incorporates specific data provided for materials, manufacturing energy, transport logistics, product use phase, and end-of-life scenarios. Our findings indicate that the "Use Phase" is the most significant contributor to the overall carbon footprint, a common trend for electronic products, highlighting key areas for future emission reduction strategies.

1. Define Scope

The scoping phase establishes the framework for the Product Carbon Footprint (PCF) analysis, ensuring consistency and relevance according to the GHG Protocol.

1.1. Functional Unit

The functional unit for this PCF analysis is defined as: 1.0 unit of EcoGadget Pro.

1.2. System Boundary

The system boundary for this assessment is defined as "cradle-to-gate with downstream activities" (factory_gate), encompassing all relevant lifecycle stages from raw material extraction and processing, through manufacturing, distribution, the use phase, and extending to the product\'s end-of-life. This comprehensive approach ensures a holistic understanding of the product\'s environmental impact.

1.3. Geographic Scope

Final Production Country: China

Supply Chain Focus: Europe Focused (for upstream components and downstream distribution/use)

1.4. Accounting Standard

This Product Carbon Footprint analysis is conducted in strict accordance with the GHG Protocol Product Life Cycle Accounting and Reporting Standard. This standard provides a globally consistent approach to measure and manage product emissions, enabling identification of GHG reduction opportunities and supporting transparent reporting.

Emissions are categorized into Scope 1 (direct emissions), Scope 2 (indirect emissions from purchased energy), and Scope 3 (all other indirect emissions across the value chain) to ensure comprehensive and standardized reporting.

1.5. Allocation

Allocation of environmental impacts across co-products or multiple functions is performed based on physical relationships where possible. For recycling and end-of-life scenarios, the "recycled content" approach (also known as the "closed-loop" approach) is generally applied where primary data allows for credits from avoided virgin material production. Illustrative credits are applied in the end-of-life phase for this report, acknowledging circular economy impacts.

Emissions from purchased electricity, considering renewable energy usage.

Non-Renewable Electricity Consumption: 0.5 kWh/unit * (1 - 0.80) = 0.1 kWh/unit

Renewable Electricity Consumption: 0.5 kWh/unit * 0.80 = 0.4 kWh/unit

Emissions from Non-Renewable Electricity: 0.1 kWh/unit * 0.59 kg CO2e/kWh = 0.059 kg CO2e

Emissions from Renewable Electricity: 0.4 kWh/unit * 0.0 kg CO2e/kWh = 0.0 kg CO2e

Total Manufacturing Emissions (Scope 2): 0.059 kg CO2e

4.3. Transport (Scope 3)

4.3.1. Upstream Transport (Components to China Factory)

Emissions: 0.0004 tonnes (product weight) * 500 km * 0.09 kg CO2e/tonne-km = 0.018 kg CO2e

Total Upstream Transport Emissions (Scope 3, Category 4): 0.018 kg CO2e

4.3.2. Downstream Distribution Transport (China to Europe to Customer)

Ocean Freight (China to Europe Port): 0.0004 tonnes * 15,000 km * 0.01 kg CO2e/tonne-km = 0.06 kg CO2e

Road Freight (Europe Port to Distribution Hub): 0.0004 tonnes * 500 km * 0.09 kg CO2e/tonne-km = 0.018 kg CO2e

Last-Mile Delivery (Parcel Service): 1.19 kg CO2e/unit

Total Downstream Distribution Transport Emissions (Scope 3, Category 4): 0.06 + 0.018 + 1.19 = 1.268 kg CO2e

4.4. Use Phase (Scope 3 - Downstream)

Emissions from energy consumption during the product\'s active use.

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

Accounting for disposal of non-recycled components and credits for recycled materials.

Non-recycled portion: 0.36 kg * (1 - 0.70) = 0.108 kg

Emissions from Disposal: 0.108 kg * 2.0 kg CO2e/kg = 0.216 kg CO2e

Recycled portion: 0.36 kg * 0.70 = 0.252 kg

Recycling Credit: 0.252 kg * (-1.0 kg CO2e/kg) = -0.252 kg CO2e (avoided emissions)

Net End-of-Life Emissions (Scope 3, Category 12): 0.216 - 0.252 = -0.036 kg CO2e

The negative value indicates a net carbon removal or avoided emissions due to high recyclability and the presence of circular programs.

4.7. 2026 Land Sector and Removals (LSR) Standard Update

The GHG Protocol\'s Land Sector and Removals (LSR) Standard, released on January 30, 2026, and effective January 1, 2027, provides comprehensive guidance for accounting for land-related emissions and removals. While specific land use change data for the raw materials (e.g., bio-based plastic sourcing, packaging) was not available in the provided parameters, adherence to the LSR Standard in future, more granular analyses would involve:

Quantifying emissions and removals from land management and land use change associated with the sourcing of bio-based materials.

Assessing impacts related to biogenic carbon products across the value chain.

Reporting on any technological CO2 removals if applicable to the product\'s components or manufacturing.

lpgnmlsykx should prepare to integrate these detailed land-related assessments into its GHG inventory as the standard becomes mandatory, especially for materials with agricultural or forestry origins.
