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

Emissions are calculated for each lifecycle stage and categorized according to the GHG Protocol scopes.

GHG Protocol Scopes Breakdown:

Scope 1: Direct Emissions (e.g., owned or controlled sources). For this analysis, direct emissions from manufacturing at the factory are assumed to be negligible or covered by purchased electricity, thus reporting 0 for direct on-site fuel combustion.

Scope 2: Purchased Energy Emissions (e.g., electricity for manufacturing).

Scope 3: Indirect Value Chain Emissions (e.g., upstream materials, transport, use-phase, end-of-life).

Application of 2026 LSR Update:

While specific land-use change data is not provided for this manufactured product\'s supply chain, uqyomilfjw acknowledges the importance of the Land Sector and Removals (LSR) Standard. Future analyses will incorporate detailed land use impacts and carbon removals (e.g., from bio-based materials or carbon capture initiatives) as per 2026 requirements, if relevant data becomes available.

Scope 3 Compliance:

This report aims for at least 95% coverage for Scope 3 reporting by including all material categories, transport (both inbound and outbound), product use, and end-of-life scenarios. Where direct data was unavailable, conservative estimates and industry-average emission factors have been applied to ensure broad coverage.

Detailed Calculations:

Mode: Road Freight (HGV > 3.5t)

Distance: 1,000 km [cite: moniiotxtq]

Emission Factor: 0.062 kg CO2e/tonne-km

Emissions: 0.0012 tonnes * 1,000 km * 0.062 kg CO2e/tonne-km = 0.0744 kgCO2e

Last-Mile Delivery (Distribution Hub to Customer):

Mode: Parcel Delivery Van [cite: Delivery Type]

Distance: Assumed 50 km (additional to primary transport)

Van Emission Factor: 0.24934 kg CO2e/km

Assumed Average Van Load for allocation: 200 kg = 0.2 tonnes

Total Van Emissions for 50 km: 0.24934 kg CO2e/km * 50 km = 12.467 kgCO2e

Product\'s Share: (0.0012 tonnes / 0.2 tonnes) * 12.467 kgCO2e = 0.0748 kgCO2e

Total Transport Emissions (Scope 3): 0.0744 kgCO2e (Primary) + 0.0748 kgCO2e (Last-Mile) = 0.1492 kgCO2e

Product Lifespan: 3 years [cite: jnpkejpifm]

Energy Consumption in Use: 15 kWh/year [cite: uvoomejpzu]

Total Use Phase Energy: 15 kWh/year * 3 years = 45 kWh

EU Grid Electricity Emission Factor: 0.242 kg CO2e/kWh

Emissions: 45 kWh * 0.242 kg CO2e/kWh = 10.89 kgCO2e

Total Use Phase Emissions (Scope 3): 10.89 kgCO2e

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

Product Weight: 1.2 kg

Recyclability Percentage: 60% [cite: ygzwowuwgr]

Portion sent to waste (not recycled): 1.2 kg * (1 - 0.60) = 0.48 kg

Assumed EoL Waste Treatment Emission Factor: 1.0 kg CO2e/kg

Emissions from Non-Recycled Portion: 0.48 kg * 1.0 kg CO2e/kg = 0.48 kgCO2e

Circular/Take-back Programs: An established program is in place, covering 20% of returned units [cite: gitdwtkejq]. This represents an avoided burden by extending product life or enabling remanufacturing, but for direct PCF EoL calculation, the focus is on disposal of the current unit. The benefits of this program are acknowledged as a reduction in overall lifecycle impact, primarily through avoided new production.
