1. Methodology and Scope Definition

The Product Carbon Footprint (PCF) for rpyyvkdjmw has been calculated following the five-step methodology recommended for comprehensive GHG accounting.

1.1. Define Scope

Functional Unit: The functional unit for this analysis is defined as 1.0 unit of the product rpyyvkdjmw. This unit forms the basis for all quantified emissions.

System Boundary: The analysis employs a factory_gate system boundary, meaning all emissions from raw material acquisition, manufacturing processes at the production facility, and transport up to the factory gate are included. To provide a holistic view, the analysis extends to cover the use phase and end-of-life treatment of the product, moving beyond a strict factory_gate boundary to a cradle-to-grave perspective for the product\'s lifecycle.

Geographic Scope: The final production country for rpyyvkdjmw is China. The supply chain focus is concentrated on Europe Focused, indicating that upstream material and component sourcing largely occurs within Europe, with final assembly and production occurring in China.

Accounting Standard: The assessment strictly adheres to the GHG Protocol Product Standard. This includes categorization of emissions into Scope 1 (direct emissions from owned or controlled sources), Scope 2 (indirect emissions from purchased energy), and Scope 3 (all other indirect emissions in the value chain).

Allocation: Where co-production or multi-functionality occurs, emissions are allocated based on mass, a common approach in PCF studies, particularly for material-intensive products.

1.2. GHG Protocol 2026 Updates Adherence

This report incorporates the latest advancements in GHG accounting as per the 2026 updates:

Land Sector and Removals (LSR) Standard: The GHG Protocol\'s Land Sector and Removals (LSR) Standard, released on January 30, 2026, and taking effect on January 1, 2027, has been considered in this analysis. While specific land-use related activity data for rpyyvkdjmw\'s components is not explicitly provided, the principles of accounting for emissions and removals from agricultural and land use activities are acknowledged. Should relevant land-use data become available, a quantified assessment would be integrated, particularly for any biogenic carbon impacts or direct land use changes.

Scope 3 Compliance (95% Coverage): The 2026 GHG Protocol update mandates that companies account for at least 95% of their total relevant Scope 3 emissions to claim conformance. This report aims for comprehensive coverage of the product\'s value chain, addressing major Scope 3 categories such as purchased goods and services, transportation, use of sold products, and end-of-life treatment of sold products. While specific primary data for every minor input may not be available for the entire value chain, efforts have been made to use reliable secondary data to ensure a robust and comprehensive Scope 3 footprint.

2. Lifecycle Mapping and Data Collection

The lifecycle of rpyyvkdjmw is mapped across several stages, and data has been collected from various sources, prioritizing primary data where available and supplementing with industry-average secondary data.

3.2. Detailed Emissions Breakdown

3.2.1. Scope 3: Purchased Goods and Services (Materials)

The material impact is directly calculated from the provided BOM. These emissions are considered upstream Scope 3, Category 1.

Aluminum: 50 kg * 2.5 kg CO2e/kg = 125.0 kg CO2e

ABS Plastic: 20 kg * 3.0 kg CO2e/kg = 60.0 kg CO2e

Silicon Chip: 2 units * 0.5 kg CO2e/unit = 1.0 kg CO2e

Copper Wire: 10 kg * 2.0 kg CO2e/kg = 20.0 kg CO2e

Total Material Emissions: 206.0 kg CO2e

3.2.2. Scope 2 / Scope 3: Production Energy

Energy consumption during manufacturing in China contributes to the product\'s footprint.

Energy Intensity: 10 kWh/unit

Renewable Energy Usage: 75%

Non-renewable Energy Usage: 25% (10 kWh * 0.25 = 2.5 kWh/unit)

China Grid Emission Factor: 0.577 kg CO2e/kWh

Production Energy Emissions = 2.5 kWh/unit * 0.577 kg CO2e/kWh = 1.44 kg CO2e/unit

Note: These emissions are typically classified as Scope 2 for the manufacturing facility\'s corporate footprint. For a product footprint, they are part of the production phase, often corresponding to Scope 3, Category 3 (Fuel- and energy-related activities not included in Scope 1 or 2) for the purchasing company.

3.2.3. Scope 3: Transportation and Distribution

Calculations for the 82 kg product (total material weight):

Upstream Transport (Road Freight - Heavy Goods Vehicle):

Distance: 1500 km

Emission Factor: 0.1 kg CO2e/tkm

Emissions = (82 kg / 1000 kg/tonne) * 1500 km * 0.1 kg CO2e/tkm = 12.3 kg CO2e

Downstream Transport (Last-Mile Delivery - Commercial Vehicle):

Assuming a typical last-mile distance of 100 km.

Emission Factor: 0.5 kg CO2e/tkm

Emissions = (82 kg / 1000 kg/tonne) * 100 km * 0.5 kg CO2e/tkm = 4.1 kg CO2e

Total Transport Emissions: 12.3 + 4.1 = 16.4 kg CO2e

3.2.4. Scope 3: Use of Sold Products

Emissions over the product\'s lifespan:

Product Lifespan: 5 years

Energy Consumption: 2 kWh/year

Total Energy Consumption over lifespan = 2 kWh/year * 5 years = 10 kWh

China Grid Emission Factor: 0.577 kg CO2e/kWh (assuming end-user electricity mix is comparable)

Use Phase Emissions = 10 kWh * 0.577 kg CO2e/kWh = 5.77 kg CO2e

3.2.5. Scope 3: End-of-Life Treatment of Sold Products

Calculations based on material composition and recyclability (80% recyclable, 20% landfilled, applied proportionally to material weights). The product buy-back program supports a high recyclability rate.

Total Product Weight: 82 kg

Recycled Portion (80%): 82 kg * 0.80 = 65.6 kg

Landfilled Portion (20%): 82 kg * 0.20 = 16.4 kg

Recycled Material Credit (avoided emissions):

Aluminum (50 kg * 0.80 = 40 kg recycled): Credit for avoided primary production (90% of 14.77 kg CO2e/kg for primary aluminum) = - (40 kg * 14.77 kg CO2e/kg * 0.90) = -531.72 kg CO2e

ABS Plastic (20 kg * 0.80 = 16 kg recycled): Credit for avoided primary production (50% of 3.125 kg CO2e/kg for virgin ABS) = - (16 kg * 3.125 kg CO2e/kg * 0.50) = -25.0 kg CO2e

Silicon Chip (2 units * 0.80 = 1.6 units recycled): Assuming a recycling credit for silicon chips of 50% of its fabrication EF (0.5 kg CO2e/unit) = - (1.6 units * 0.5 kg CO2e/unit * 0.50) = -0.4 kg CO2e

Copper Wire (10 kg * 0.80 = 8 kg recycled): Credit for avoided primary production (90% of 4.04 kg CO2e/kg for primary copper) = - (8 kg * 4.04 kg CO2e/kg * 0.90) = -29.088 kg CO2e

Total Recycling Credit = -531.72 - 25.0 - 0.4 - 29.088 = -586.208 kg CO2e

Note: This credit represents the avoided emissions from not producing virgin materials due to recycling. Actual recycling processes also incur emissions, which are often embedded within net credits or dedicated recycling emission factors not detailed here.

Landfilled Material Debits:

ABS Plastic (20 kg * 0.20 = 4 kg landfilled): 4 kg * 0.033 kg CO2e/kg = 0.132 kg CO2e

Metals (Aluminum 10 kg * 0.20 = 2 kg; Copper 10 kg * 0.20 = 2 kg; Total 4 kg landfilled): 4 kg * 0.0089 kg CO2e/kg = 0.0356 kg CO2e

Silicon Chip (2 units * 0.20 = 0.4 units landfilled): 0.4 units * 0.1 kg CO2e/unit (estimated) = 0.04 kg CO2e

Total Landfilling Debits = 0.132 + 0.0356 + 0.04 = 0.2076 kg CO2e

Net End-of-Life Emissions = Total Recycling Credit + Total Landfilling Debits = -586.208 + 0.2076 = -586.0004 kg CO2e

3.3. Overall Product Carbon Footprint (PCF)

A summary of the calculated emissions across all lifecycle stages:

Lifecycle Stage	GHG Scope	GHG Emissions (kg CO2e)
Material Acquisition (BOM)	Scope 3 (Category 1)	206.00
Production (Energy)	Scope 2 / Scope 3 (Category 3)	1.44
Upstream Transportation	Scope 3 (Category 4)	12.30
Downstream Transportation	Scope 3 (Category 9)	4.10
Use Phase	Scope 3 (Category 11)	5.77
End-of-Life (Net)	Scope 3 (Category 12)	-586.00

The negative total PCF indicates that the significant recycling credits from materials, particularly aluminum and copper, largely outweigh the emissions generated across the other lifecycle stages. This highlights the strong positive impact of the product\'s high recyclability and the associated avoided emissions due to the circular economy initiatives.

4. Review & Report

4.1. Hotspot Identification

Based on the detailed analysis, the primary emission hotspots and areas of significant impact are:

Material Acquisition: The initial production of materials, particularly primary aluminum and ABS plastic, represents a substantial source of emissions. While the provided BOM already reflects some material-specific emission factors, sourcing lower-carbon virgin materials or increasing recycled content would be beneficial.

End-of-Life (EoL): This phase presents a significant opportunity for carbon reduction, as evidenced by the large negative emissions (credits) due to the high recyclability (80%) and the product buy-back program. Maximizing collection and efficient recycling is crucial to realize these benefits.

Upstream Transportation: The 1500 km transport distance for materials contributes notably to upstream emissions.

Production Energy: The high (75%) renewable energy usage by ynhtpymkqz significantly mitigates emissions in this phase, demonstrating a positive effort and best practice in low-carbon manufacturing.

4.2. Reliability and Limitations

The reliability of this PCF analysis is contingent on several factors:

Data Quality: The analysis relies on a mix of primary data (BOM\'s inherent EFs, energy usage, recyclability) and secondary, industry-average emission factors (for transport, grid electricity, general EoL processes). Greater primary data collection for all aspects of the supply chain would enhance accuracy.

Assumed Emission Factors: Where specific data was not provided (e.g., exact transport mode details for "Select Mode" and "Delivery Type", specific EoL processing emissions for all materials beyond general landfilling factors), industry-average emission factors were applied. These assumptions are based on current best available data from reputable sources (e.g., Climatiq, EPA, IEA, DEFRA, IAI).

System Boundary: While comprehensive in covering cradle-to-gate plus use and EoL, specific upstream processes for components not detailed in the BOM are covered by the material EFs.

2026 LSR Standard: While acknowledged, a quantitative assessment of land use impacts was not possible without specific land use change or biogenic carbon data related to the product\'s components or operations.

GHG Protocol Scope 3 Coverage: Efforts were made to achieve comprehensive Scope 3 coverage (aiming for the 95% target). The presented calculations cover significant categories; however, without deeper granular data from all value chain partners, some minor categories might be estimated or excluded, with the understanding that they are not material to the overall footprint.

4.3. Recommendations for Improvement

Supply Chain Engagement: Engage with key suppliers to gather more specific primary data for material extraction, processing, and transportation to further refine Scope 3 (Category 1 & 4) calculations. This will improve the accuracy and traceability as emphasized by the 2026 Scope 3 revisions.

Transport Optimization: Investigate opportunities for optimizing transport modes (e.g., shifting to lower-emission modes like rail or ocean where feasible for upstream logistics from Europe to China) and consolidating shipments to reduce overall transport distances and emissions.

Renewable Energy Expansion: Continuously increase the share of renewable energy in manufacturing operations to further reduce Scope 2 (or Scope 3, Category 3) emissions, especially as China\'s grid decarbonizes.

Circular Economy Enhancement: Leverage the existing product buy-back program to maximize actual recycling rates and explore opportunities to incorporate higher percentages of post-consumer recycled content into product design, further amplifying avoided emissions.

Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) Software: Utilize specialized LCA software with regularly updated, regionally specific databases (e.g., Ecoinvent, GaBi) for more refined and automated emission factor application and sensitivity analysis.
