4.2. Detailed Emissions Breakdown by Lifecycle Stage

4.2.1. Materials (Scope 3 Upstream)

As per the provided Bill of Materials (BOM), the pre-calculated total carbon for material acquisition and pre-processing is used directly.

Total Material Emissions: 6.4 kg CO2e

4.2.2. Manufacturing (Scope 2 - Purchased Electricity)

The emissions from the manufacturing process are predominantly from purchased electricity, categorized as Scope 2.

Energy Intensity: 50 kWh/unit

Non-renewable energy consumption: 50 kWh/unit * (1 - 0.60 renewable usage) = 20 kWh/unit

Emissions (China Grid): 20 kWh/unit * 0.8 kg CO2e/kWh = 16.0 kg CO2e

4.2.3. Transport and Distribution (Scope 3 Upstream)

Assuming a product weight of 1.0 kg (0.001 tonne) for transport.

Sea Freight (China to Europe):

Distance: 10,000 km (assumed)

Emissions: 0.001 tonne * 10,000 km * 0.016142 kg CO2e/tonne-km = 0.16142 kg CO2e

Truck (Europe Internal):

Distance: 2500 km

Emissions: 0.001 tonne * 2500 km * 0.07392 kg CO2e/tonne-km = 0.1848 kg CO2e

Last-Mile Delivery (Electric Van):

Distance: 100 km (assumed)

Energy Consumption: 0.001 tonne * 100 km * 0.2 kWh/tonne-km = 0.02 kWh

Emissions (EU Grid): 0.02 kWh * 0.181 kg CO2e/kWh = 0.00362 kg CO2e

Total Transport Emissions: 0.16142 + 0.1848 + 0.00362 = 0.35 kg CO2e (rounded)

4.2.4. Use Phase (Scope 3 Downstream)

Emissions from product usage over its lifespan.

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

Emissions (Europe Grid): 30 kWh * 0.181 kg CO2e/kWh = 5.43 kg CO2e

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

The EoL calculation incorporates the recyclability percentage and accounts for potential benefits from circular programs.

Product Weight: 1.0 kg

Disposal (20%): 0.2 kg * 0.5 kg CO2e/kg (illustrative) = 0.1 kg CO2e

Recycling Benefit (80%): 0.8 kg * -1.5 kg CO2e/kg (illustrative avoided emissions) = -1.2 kg CO2e

Net EoL Emissions: 0.1 - 1.2 = -1.1 kg CO2e (Net benefit)

The "30% product return rate" further enhances circularity by facilitating reuse or refurbishment, leading to additional avoided emissions not explicitly quantified here but acknowledged as a significant positive impact.

4.3. Total Product Carbon Footprint (PCF)

Summation of emissions across all lifecycle stages for 1.0 functional unit of zlwtfmnmrt:

Total PCF = Materials + Manufacturing Energy + Transport + Use Phase + End-of-Life
