Product Carbon Footprint Analysis Report for sdelefsgsi

Generated Date: May 23, 2026

Executive Summary

This report presents a high-detail Product Carbon Footprint (PCF) analysis for the product sdelefsgsi, manufactured by dvwdpoirms. The analysis was conducted by odgsxutzmy, a Senior Sustainability Consultant specializing in the GHG Protocol, to quantify the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions associated with the product\'s lifecycle. The methodology strictly adheres to the GHG Protocol standards, including the latest 2026 updates for Scope 3 reporting and the Land Sector and Removals (LSR) Standard. The total estimated cradle-to-grave carbon footprint for one unit of sdelefsgsi is **18.03 kgCO2e**, with the use phase being the most significant contributor.

1. Defining the Scope

The first step in this PCF analysis involves clearly defining the scope, including the functional unit, system boundaries, geographic scope, and allocation principles, in accordance with the GHG Protocol.

Functional Unit: The functional unit for this analysis is 1.0 unit of sdelefsgsi. This unit serves as the reference basis for quantifying all inputs and outputs throughout the product\'s lifecycle.

System Boundary: The system boundary for this PCF is defined as "factory_gate" for the manufacturing process, extending to cover the entire lifecycle including upstream material acquisition, transport, manufacturing, use phase, and end-of-life treatment (cradle-to-grave).

Geographic Scope: The geographic scope focuses on the Final Production Country: China, with a Supply Chain Focus: Europe Focused. The use and end-of-life phases are considered to primarily occur in Europe.

Accounting Standard: This PCF analysis strictly adheres to the GHG Protocol Product Life Cycle Accounting and Reporting Standard. Emissions are categorized into Scope 1 (direct emissions), Scope 2 (indirect emissions from purchased energy), and Scope 3 (all other indirect emissions in the value chain).

Allocation: Mass-based allocation principles are applied for co-products or by-products where relevant. For this product, direct co-products are not identified, so emissions are fully allocated to the functional unit.

5. Review & Report

Hotspots Identification

Based on the calculations, the primary carbon hotspots for sdelefsgsi are:

Use Phase (69.3%): The energy consumption during the 5-year product lifespan is the most significant contributor to the overall carbon footprint. This highlights the importance of energy-efficient product design and promoting renewable energy sources for consumers.

Materials Acquisition (14.6%): The production of raw materials, especially electronics (PCB) and ABS plastic, contributes substantially. Optimizing material selection, increasing recycled content, and engaging with low-carbon suppliers are crucial.

Manufacturing Energy (12.0%): While lower than the use phase, the electricity consumed during manufacturing in China represents a notable portion. Increasing renewable energy usage at production facilities is a key leverage point.

Reliability and 2026 GHG Protocol Compliance

This report has been developed in adherence to the GHG Protocol Product Standard. Key aspects of the 2026 updates have been considered:

Scope 3 Compliance (95% Coverage Rule): The analysis for sdelefsgsi explicitly covers upstream materials (Category 1), upstream transportation (Category 4), downstream transportation (Category 9), use of sold products (Category 11), and end-of-life treatment of sold products (Category 12). These categories typically constitute the vast majority of emissions for manufactured goods. Based on this comprehensive coverage of material categories, the report aims for at least 95% coverage of relevant Scope 3 emissions.

Land Sector and Removals (LSR) Standard Update: The LSR Standard, taking effect on January 1, 2027, provides guidelines for accounting for land emissions, CO2 removals, and biogenic products. For a manufactured product like sdelefsgsi, direct land use change emissions within dvwdpoirms\'s operations (Scope 1) are assumed to be negligible given the \'factory_gate\' system boundary and the nature of the product. Upstream land impacts are embedded within the raw material emission factors (Scope 3, Category 1). While not directly quantified as separate LSR categories for this product, its principles are acknowledged for future detailed supply chain assessments, particularly if raw materials with significant agricultural or forestry origins were to be identified. The standard is particularly relevant for companies with significant land sector activities, such as producing or purchasing agricultural products.

Data Disaggregation: This report disaggregates emissions by lifecycle stage and GHG scope, moving towards improved data transparency.

The calculations rely on a mix of primary data (BOM quantities, energy intensity, lifespan, recyclability) and secondary, illustrative emission factors from generally accepted sources. The reliability could be further enhanced with more specific, primary supplier-specific emission data for all components and processes.

Recommendations

Optimize Use Phase: Invest in R&D for more energy-efficient designs for sdelefsgsi, explore lower-carbon energy options for end-users, or consider product-as-a-service models to retain control over end-of-life and potentially use phase energy.

Supply Chain Decarbonization: Engage with suppliers to source lower-carbon materials (e.g., recycled steel, ABS with lower PCF, or electronics with verified low-carbon production). Prioritize suppliers with transparent data and renewable energy commitments.

Enhance Manufacturing Efficiency: Increase the percentage of renewable energy used at the China manufacturing facility beyond the current 30%. Invest in energy-efficient machinery and processes.

Strengthen Circularity: Expand the existing take-back program to increase refurbishment rates beyond 10% and improve the collection and processing of materials for high-quality recycling. Explore design-for-disassembly to facilitate material recovery.

Data Quality Improvement: Initiate efforts to collect more primary (supplier-specific) data for emission factors, especially for high-impact materials and transportation routes, to further enhance report accuracy and meet evolving GHG Protocol data disaggregation requirements.
