1. Introduction

In response to increasing global climate concerns and regulatory demands, upxsdnzqtr commissioned this Product Carbon Footprint (PCF) analysis for its htijovskwi product. This report, prepared by zreeoiguvd, Senior Sustainability Consultant, aims to quantify the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions across the product’s lifecycle. The findings will support strategic decision-making, identify opportunities for emission reductions, and bolster upxsdnzqtr\'s commitment to sustainability, aligning with the stringent requirements of the GHG Protocol.

2. Methodology

The Product Carbon Footprint (PCF) analysis for htijovskwi was conducted following the five-step methodology prescribed by the GHG Protocol Product Standard. This ensures a comprehensive, transparent, and consistent assessment of environmental impacts.

2.1. Define Scope

Functional Unit: 1.0 unit of htijovskwi. This defines the quantified performance of the product system for use as a reference unit.

System Boundary: The analysis adopts a "factory-gate" approach. This includes raw material extraction, component manufacturing, production at the final assembly factory, and transportation up to the point of dispatch from the factory. While the formal system boundary is factory-gate, the analysis is expanded to include critical downstream impacts (Use Phase and End-of-Life) as per common PCF practice for comprehensive insight, categorizing them under Scope 3.

Geographic Scope: Final Production Country: China, with a Supply Chain Focus on Europe. This necessitates the use of country-specific emission factors where available, particularly for electricity generation.

Allocation: Emissions are allocated directly to the functional unit where possible. For shared processes (e.g., factory utilities), allocation is based on mass or energy intensity per unit of production.

2.2. Map Lifecycle (LCI Inventory Stages)

The lifecycle of htijovskwi is mapped through the following stages:

Raw Material Acquisition & Pre-processing: Extraction, cultivation, and initial processing of all materials comprising the product and its packaging (e.g., plastics, metals, electronics, cardboard).

Manufacturing: Production of components, sub-assemblies, and final assembly of the product. This includes energy consumption at the production facilities.

Transportation & Distribution: Inbound logistics of raw materials and components to the factory, and outbound logistics to the first point of sale or distribution center (within the "factory-gate" boundary, plus consideration for supply chain focus to Europe).

Use Phase: Energy consumption during the product\'s lifespan by the end-user (e.g., electricity for operation). This is included for comprehensive understanding despite the \'factory-gate\' primary boundary.

End-of-Life Treatment: Disposal or recycling processes for the product and its packaging after its useful life. This is included for comprehensive understanding despite the \'factory-gate\' primary boundary.

2.3. Collect Data (Primary/Secondary Data Points)

Data collection involved leveraging both primary and secondary data sources:

Primary Data: Detailed Bill of Materials (BOM) from upxsdnzqtr, specific energy usage in production, transport modes, distances, and end-of-life scenarios.

Secondary Data: Industry-standard emission factors for materials, energy grids, and transportation, primarily sourced from databases like Ecoinvent and DEFRA, or other authoritative sources.

2.4. Calculate Emissions (Activity * Emission Factor = CO2e)

Emissions for each lifecycle stage are calculated by multiplying activity data (e.g., kg of material, kWh of electricity, tonne-km of transport) by relevant emission factors (e.g., kg CO2e/kg material, kg CO2e/kWh, kg CO2e/tonne-km). All greenhouse gas emissions (CO2, CH4, N2O, HFCs, PFCs, SF6, NF3) are converted to their carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e) using their respective Global Warming Potentials (GWP100) as per IPCC AR5 guidelines.

2.5. Review & Report (Hotspots and Reliability)

The calculated PCF undergoes review to identify emission hotspots—areas contributing most significantly to the total footprint. Reliability of data and assumptions is assessed, and recommendations for improvement are formulated.

2.6. GHG Protocol Adherence

This analysis strictly adheres to the GHG Protocol Corporate Accounting and Reporting Standard and the Corporate Value Chain (Scope 3) Accounting and Reporting Standard. Emissions are categorized as follows:

Scope 1: Direct GHG Emissions - Emissions from sources owned or controlled by upxsdnzqtr (e.g., direct fuel combustion in owned vehicles or facilities). For a product PCF, this would typically cover direct emissions from the manufacturing facility itself, if owned and operated by upxsdnzqtr.

Scope 2: Indirect GHG Emissions from Purchased Energy - Emissions from the generation of purchased electricity, heat, steam, or cooling consumed by upxsdnzqtr\'s manufacturing operations.

Scope 3: Other Indirect GHG Emissions - All other indirect emissions occurring in the value chain, both upstream and downstream, not covered in Scope 1 or 2. For this PCF, key Scope 3 categories include:

Category 1: Purchased Goods and Services - Emissions from the extraction, production, and transportation of raw materials and components purchased for htijovskwi.

Category 3: Fuel- and Energy-Related Activities Not Included in Scope 1 or Scope 2 - Upstream (WTT) emissions associated with the production of purchased electricity.

Category 4: Upstream Transportation and Distribution - Emissions from third-party transportation of purchased products (materials and components) to upxsdnzqtr\'s facilities.

Category 9: Downstream Transportation and Distribution - Emissions from the transportation of sold products (htijovskwi) to the end-user (e.g., last-mile delivery).

Category 11: Use of Sold Products - Emissions from the end-user\'s operation of htijovskwi over its lifetime.

Category 12: End-of-Life Treatment of Sold Products - Emissions from the disposal or recycling of htijovskwi at the end of its life.

2.7. 2026 LSR Update

This analysis acknowledges and applies the GHG Protocol Land Sector and Removals (LSR) Standard, released on January 30, 2026, and effective January 1, 2027. This standard provides accounting requirements for land-related emissions, CO₂ removals, and technological CO₂ removals. While a detailed assessment of land-use change specifically tied to htijovskwi\'s bill of materials is not explicitly quantifiable with the provided data, the framework\'s principles for transparent reporting of removals and land sector impacts are integrated where applicable. The accompanying guidance, expected in Q2 2026, will further refine future applications.

2.8. Scope 3 Compliance

In line with the 2026 requirements, this report ensures at least 95% coverage for Scope 3 emissions. This commitment to comprehensive reporting aims to provide a robust and auditable inventory of indirect emissions across the value chain, ensuring that exclusions do not exceed 5% of the total required Scope 3 emissions. This increased stringency prevents "cherry-picking" and enhances the completeness, consistency, and transparency of upxsdnzqtr\'s GHG inventory.

Calculations:

4.2. Material Acquisition & Pre-processing (Scope 3, Category 1)

These emissions are directly taken from the "Total Carbon" column of the provided BOM.

Total Emissions from Materials = 1.900 kg CO2e

4.3. Production Phase (Scope 2 & Scope 3, Category 3)

Based on an energy intensity of 5 kWh/unit and 75% renewable energy usage at the production facility in China.

Total Energy Consumed = 5 kWh/unit

Renewable Energy Portion = 5 kWh * 0.75 = 3.75 kWh

Non-Renewable (Grid) Energy Portion = 5 kWh * 0.25 = 1.25 kWh

Emissions from Purchased Grid Electricity (Scope 2) = 1.25 kWh * 0.65 kg CO2e/kWh = 0.8125 kg CO2e

Emissions from Renewable Electricity (Scope 2, very low EF) = 3.75 kWh * 0.01 kg CO2e/kWh = 0.0375 kg CO2e

Upstream Emissions from Grid Electricity (WTT, Scope 3, Category 3) - Assumed 20% of Scope 2 emissions for upstream fuel production and transmission losses for China: 0.8125 kg CO2e * 0.20 = 0.1625 kg CO2e

Total Production Phase Emissions = 0.8125 (Scope 2) + 0.0375 (Scope 2) + 0.1625 (Scope 3) = 1.0125 kg CO2e

4.4. Upstream Transportation & Distribution (Scope 3, Category 4 & 9)

Assuming a product weight of 0.5 kg for transport, and a supply chain from China to Europe.

Total Product Weight for Transport = 0.5 kg = 0.0005 tonnes

Ocean Freight (Inbound, China to Europe - Scope 3, Category 4):

Distance = 15,000 km

Emissions = 0.0005 tonnes * 15,000 km * 0.015 kg CO2e/tonne-km = 0.1125 kg CO2e

Road Freight (Inbound, within Europe to factory - Scope 3, Category 4):

Distance = 500 km

Emissions = 0.0005 tonnes * 500 km * 0.09 kg CO2e/tonne-km = 0.0225 kg CO2e

Last-Mile Delivery (Outbound, to end-user - Scope 3, Category 9):

Emissions per unit = 0.7 kg CO2e/delivery (for 1 unit)

Total Transportation Emissions = 0.1125 (Ocean) + 0.0225 (Road) + 0.7 (Last-Mile) = 0.835 kg CO2e

4.5. Use Phase (Scope 3, Category 11)

Assuming a 5-year lifespan and 20 kWh/year energy consumption, using a general European electricity grid mix as representative of user consumption.

Total Energy Consumption over Lifespan = 5 years * 20 kWh/year = 100 kWh

Emissions (assuming average EU grid mix for user, illustrative EF 0.25 kg CO2e/kWh for end-user, distinct from Chinese production grid) = 100 kWh * 0.25 kg CO2e/kWh = 25.0 kg CO2e

Total Use Phase Emissions = 25.0 kg CO2e

4.6. End-of-Life Treatment (Scope 3, Category 12)

Based on a total product weight of 0.5 kg and 60% recyclability.

Waste to Landfill = 0.5 kg * (1 - 0.60) = 0.2 kg

Material Recycled = 0.5 kg * 0.60 = 0.3 kg

Emissions from Landfill = 0.2 kg * 0.5 kg CO2e/kg = 0.1 kg CO2e

Emissions/Savings from Recycling (assuming net benefit for plastic recycling) = 0.3 kg * (-1.0 kg CO2e/kg) = -0.3 kg CO2e

Total End-of-Life Emissions = 0.1 (Landfill) + (-0.3) (Recycling) = -0.2 kg CO2e (Net saving due to high recyclability benefit)

4.7. Total Product Carbon Footprint (PCF) for htijovskwi

Lifecycle Stage	Emissions (kg CO2e)	GHG Scope	GHG Category
Material Acquisition & Pre-processing	1.900	Scope 3	Category 1 (Purchased Goods and Services)
Production Phase (Purchased Electricity)	0.850	Scope 2	Electricity (Purchased)
Production Phase (Upstream Electricity)	0.163	Scope 3	Category 3 (Fuel- and Energy-Related Activities)
Upstream Transportation (Inbound)	0.135	Scope 3	Category 4 (Upstream Transportation and Distribution)
Downstream Transportation (Last-Mile)	0.700	Scope 3	Category 9 (Downstream Transportation and Distribution)
Use Phase	25.000	Scope 3	Category 11 (Use of Sold Products)
End-of-Life Treatment	-0.200	Scope 3	Category 12 (End-of-Life Treatment of Sold Products)
TOTAL PCF	28.548 kg CO2e

4.8. GHG Emissions by Scope

GHG Scope	Emissions (kg CO2e)	Percentage of Total PCF
Scope 1 (Direct)	0.000	0.00%
Scope 2 (Purchased Electricity)	0.850	2.98%
Scope 3 (Value Chain)	27.698	97.02%
TOTAL	28.548 kg CO2e	100.00%

As is common for manufactured products, Scope 3 emissions dominate the product\'s carbon footprint, accounting for approximately 97.02% of the total. This highlights the critical importance of a comprehensive Scope 3 accounting and engagement with the value chain for meaningful emission reductions.
