Avoided Emission Factor for recycled Plastic (compared to virgin): 1.25 kgCO2e/kg (2.5 - 1.25; assuming 50% energy saving for recycled plastic)

Avoided Emission Factor for recycled Copper (compared to virgin): 3.0 kgCO2e/kg (3.5 - 0.5; using 0.5 kgCO2e/kg as a representative recycled factor)

Disposal Emission Factor (unrecycled waste): 0.05 kg CO2e/kg (generic landfill/incineration).

4. Calculate Emissions

Emissions are calculated using the activity data multiplied by appropriate emission factors (Activity * Emission Factor = CO2e) and categorized according to the GHG Protocol.

Scope 1: Direct Emissions

Based on the provided parameters, no direct (Scope 1) emissions from owned or controlled sources (e.g., on-site combustion) are explicitly detailed within the product\'s manufacturing process for this "factory_gate" to cradle-to-grave expanded boundary. Any such emissions would typically arise from direct fuel combustion in manufacturing machinery. For this analysis, significant Scope 1 emissions are assumed to be negligible or embedded within Scope 3 upstream processes through supplier data.

Scope 2: Purchased Energy Emissions

This category covers emissions from purchased electricity for manufacturing the lqqvglxusu.

Energy Intensity: 25 kWh/unit

Renewable Energy Usage: 75%

Grid Electricity Usage: 25%

China Grid Emission Factor (2023): 0.6205 kg CO2e/kWh

Renewable Electricity Emission Factor: 0.012 kg CO2e/kWh (assumed average lifecycle)

Blended Emission Factor = (0.25 * 0.6205) + (0.75 * 0.012) = 0.155125 + 0.009 = 0.164125 kg CO2e/kWh.
Scope 2 Emissions = 25 kWh/unit * 0.164125 kg CO2e/kWh = 4.103 kg CO2e.

Scope 3: Value Chain Emissions

Scope 3 emissions constitute the majority of the product\'s carbon footprint, covering upstream and downstream activities.

Category 1: Purchased Goods and Services (Material Acquisition & Processing)

These emissions are derived directly from the \'Total Carbon\' values specified in the Detailed Bill of Materials (BOM).

Total Material Acquisition & Processing Emissions = 6.070 kg CO2e.

Category 4: Upstream Transportation and Distribution

Emissions from transporting raw materials and components to the manufacturing facility, and primary transport of the finished product from the factory to a distribution hub (Europe Focused).

Product Weight: 0.87 kg = 0.00087 tonnes

Transport Distance: 1500 km

Primary Transport (Road freight HGV > 3.5t) EF: 0.062 kg CO2e/tkm

Last-Mile Delivery (Van <3.5t) EF: 0.2 kg CO2e/tkm (estimated)

Assumed Last-Mile Distance: 50 km (illustrative)

Primary Transport Emissions = 0.00087 tonnes * 1500 km * 0.062 kg CO2e/tkm = 0.08085 kg CO2e.
Last-Mile Delivery Emissions = 0.00087 tonnes * 50 km * 0.2 kg CO2e/tkm = 0.00870 kg CO2e.
Total Upstream Transportation and Distribution Emissions = 0.08085 + 0.00870 = 0.08955 kg CO2e.

Category 11: Use of Sold Products

Emissions generated during the product\'s lifespan due to energy consumption.

Product Lifespan: 3 years

Energy Consumption in Use: 10 kWh/year

Total Energy in Use: 3 years * 10 kWh/year = 30 kWh

Electricity Grid Emission Factor (China): 0.6205 kg CO2e/kWh

Use Phase Emissions = 30 kWh * 0.6205 kg CO2e/kWh = 18.615 kg CO2e.

Category 12: End-of-Life Treatment of Sold Products

Emissions and avoided emissions associated with the end-of-life management of the product.

Recyclability Percentage: 60%

Product Weight: 0.87 kg

**Avoided Emissions from Recycling (Credit):**

Aluminum Casing (0.5 kg): 0.5 kg * 0.60 (recyclability) * 5.64 kgCO2e/kg (avoided EF) = 1.692 kgCO2e.

Plastic Housing (0.2 kg): 0.2 kg * 0.60 (recyclability) * 1.25 kgCO2e/kg (avoided EF) = 0.150 kgCO2e.

Copper Wiring (0.02 kg): 0.02 kg * 0.60 (recyclability) * 3.0 kgCO2e/kg (avoided EF) = 0.036 kgCO2e.

Total Avoided Emissions (Credit) = 1.692 + 0.150 + 0.036 = 1.878 kgCO2e.

**Emissions from Disposal of Unrecycled Portion (Burden):**

Unrecycled Material Weight = 0.87 kg * (1 - 0.60) = 0.348 kg.

Disposal Emission Factor: 0.05 kg CO2e/kg (generic).

Disposal Emissions = 0.348 kg * 0.05 kg CO2e/kg = 0.017 kg CO2e.

Net End-of-Life Emissions = 0.017 kg CO2e - 1.878 kg CO2e = -1.861 kg CO2e. (This indicates a net carbon removal/credit due to recycling).

The company\'s "Circular/Take-back Programs" (rxkdwidsdg) actively facilitate this recycling, contributing to these avoided emissions.

Summary of Product Carbon Footprint (PCF) for 1 Functional Unit

GHG Protocol Scope/Category	Description	Emissions (kg CO2e)	Coverage
