4.1. GHG Protocol Adherence and 2026 LSR Update

This analysis categorizes emissions according to the GHG Protocol\'s Scope 1, 2, and 3. Special attention is paid to the 2026 updates:

Scope 1: Direct emissions from sources owned or controlled by ouwxhkqjdp (e.g., on-site fuel combustion). For this PCF, assuming no significant direct fuel combustion on-site beyond electricity usage, Scope 1 is considered negligible within the factory gate boundary for production, as the energy intensity primarily refers to electricity.

Scope 2: Indirect emissions from the generation of purchased electricity consumed by ouwxhkqjdp (e.g., electricity for manufacturing).

Scope 3: All other indirect emissions that occur in the value chain of ouwxhkqjdp, both upstream and downstream. This includes purchased goods and services (materials), transportation and distribution, use of sold products, and end-of-life treatment of sold products.

2026 LSR Update: The GHG Protocol\'s Land Sector and Removals (LSR) Standard, released on January 30, 2026, and effective January 1, 2027, is considered. While the EcoGrip Ergonomic Mouse itself does not directly involve land-use change, ouwxhkqjdp acknowledges the importance of this standard for broader corporate reporting and for any future expansion of PCF to include agricultural feedstocks or bio-based materials where land-use emissions or removals would be significant. The accompanying LSR Guidance is expected in Q2 2026.

Scope 3 Compliance: As per 2026 requirements, this report aims for at least 95% coverage for Scope 3 reporting. By detailing material, transport, use-phase, and EoL, significant portions of Scope 3 are addressed. Mandatory data disaggregation by source type is a key aspect of the 2026 revisions.

4.2. Calculated Emissions by Lifecycle Stage

Emission Factor: 0.112 kg CO2e/tonne-km

Calculations: 0.112 kg CO2e/tonne-km * (0.115 kg / 1000 kg/tonne) * 2500 km = 0.0322 kg CO2e

Last-Mile Delivery (Parcel Delivery Van):

Emission Factor: 0.23 kg CO2e/package

Calculations: 0.23 kg CO2e

Total Transportation Emissions = 0.0322 + 0.23 = 0.2622 kg CO2e

4.2.4. Use Phase (Scope 3 - Downstream)

Product Lifespan: 3 years = 1095 days

Energy Consumption: 0.01 kWh/day

Total Energy Consumption over lifespan: 1095 days * 0.01 kWh/day = 10.95 kWh

Electricity Grid Emission Factor (Europe Average): 0.3 kg CO2e/kWh

Calculations: 10.95 kWh * 0.3 kg CO2e/kWh = 3.285 kg CO2e

Total Use Phase Emissions = 3.285 kg CO2e

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

Recyclability Percentage: 80%

Portion Recycled: 0.115 kg * 0.80 = 0.092 kg

Portion Landfilled: 0.115 kg * 0.20 = 0.023 kg

Recycling Credit (Avoided Emissions): 0.092 kg * -2.0 kg CO2e/kg = -0.184 kg CO2e

Landfill Emissions: 0.023 kg * 0.5 kg CO2e/kg = 0.0115 kg CO2e

Total End-of-Life Emissions = -0.184 + 0.0115 = -0.1725 kg CO2e (Net Credit)

5. Review & Report

5.1. Emission Hotspots

The analysis for the EcoGrip Ergonomic Mouse (wnyqnohyys) reveals the following emission hotspots:

Use Phase (3.285 kg CO2e): This is the most significant contributor to the total PCF, accounting for approximately 71.6% of the emissions. The energy consumption of the mouse over its 3-year lifespan, even at a low daily rate, accumulates to a substantial impact, especially when considering the carbon intensity of the electricity grid in the region of use.

Materials Acquisition & Pre-processing (1.058 kg CO2e): Representing about 23.1% of the total PCF, the raw materials, particularly the Lithium-ion Battery and Circuit Board, contribute significantly to upstream emissions. This highlights the carbon intensity of electronics components manufacturing.

Manufacturing (0.156 kg CO2e): While ouwxhkqjdp utilizes 70% renewable energy, the remaining 30% from the China grid still contributes to the footprint, accounting for approximately 3.4%. Increasing renewable energy penetration further could reduce this.

Transportation (0.2622 kg CO2e): Both main transport and last-mile delivery contribute to the downstream footprint, making up about 5.7%.

End-of-Life (-0.1725 kg CO2e): The robust recyclability and circular programs result in a net carbon credit, indicating avoided emissions due to materials re-entering the economy. This positive impact helps offset some of the lifecycle emissions.

5.2. Reliability and Recommendations

The reliability of this PCF analysis is high due to the use of a detailed BOM and adherence to the GHG Protocol. However, it relies on several assumptions for generic emission factors and average data where primary data was not available (e.g., specific electricity grid mix for Europe, detailed transport load factors). Future improvements could involve collecting more granular primary data for all lifecycle stages.

Recommendations:

Optimize Use Phase Efficiency: Invest in R&D to further reduce the energy consumption of the EcoGrip Ergonomic Mouse during its operational life. Explore features that promote ultra-low power modes or self-powering capabilities.

Sustainable Material Sourcing: Work with suppliers to source lower-carbon intensity materials, especially for the battery and circuit board. Explore recycled content for plastics and metals where feasible without compromising performance.

Increase Renewable Energy in Manufacturing: While already at 70%, further increasing renewable energy usage at the manufacturing facility in China (e.g., through Power Purchase Agreements or on-site generation) will directly reduce Scope 2 emissions.

Optimize Logistics: Evaluate opportunities to optimize transportation routes and modes, particularly for long-distance freight, to reduce emissions per tonne-km. Explore consolidation strategies for last-mile delivery to reduce per-package emissions.

Enhance Circularity: Continue to strengthen circular economy initiatives, including the Product Take-back and Refurbishment Program (ykmgpkggjl), to maximize material recovery and reuse, further increasing end-of-life credits. Explore options for product upgrades and modular designs to extend product lifespan.

Data Granularity: For future assessments, aim to collect more specific, primary data for transport (e.g., actual load factors, specific vehicle types) and a more precise regional electricity mix for the use phase.
