Lifecycle Analysis: A methodology to assess the environmental impact (e.g., carbon emissions) related to a product's lifecycle stages, from raw material extraction and processing to production, use, and disposal.

Biogenic carbon emissions for this product are 0.701 kg CO₂e and are included in the total carbon footprint calculation. The total biogenic carbon content in this product is 0.034 kg C. Percentage values may not sum to exactly 100% due to rounding.

Materials and Manufacturing

Amazon considers raw material extraction, production, and transportation, as well as the manufacturing, transportation, and assembly of all parts.

Recycled Materials

This device is made with 61% recycled materials. The plastic in this device is made with 59% post-consumer recycled plastic. Aluminum parts are made with 94% recycled aluminum. Amazon incorporates recycled fabrics, plastics, and metals into many new Amazon devices to give materials a second life.

Recyclable Packaging

The packaging for this device is 100% recyclable. 99% of this device's packaging is made from wood fiber-based materials.

Chemical Safety

Through its partnership with ChemFORWARD, Amazon collaborates with industry peers to proactively identify harmful chemicals and safe alternatives to anticipate regulations.

Suppliers

All Amazon assembly sites for this product hold UL Zero Waste to Landfill Gold certification. This means Amazon's suppliers employ environmentally responsible methods and divert over 90% of their facility waste from landfills to other methods (excluding energy recovery). Amazon communicates with suppliers who manufacture its devices or their components (especially final assembly sites, semiconductor panels, printed circuit boards, displays, batteries, and accessories) and encourages them to increase their use of renewable energy and reduce manufacturing emissions. In 2023, 49 of Amazon's suppliers committed to collaborating on decarbonization efforts, an increase from 28 suppliers in 2022. Amazon also helped 21 of them develop renewable energy implementation plans for the production and assembly of Amazon devices. This program will continue to expand in 2025 and beyond.

Transportation

Amazon estimates inbound and outbound transportation as the average representation for a device or accessory. Inbound includes transporting the product from the final assembly location to the Amazon warehouse, while outbound is when it is transported from the warehouse to the customer.

Amazon's Commitment

Providing the best service to customers globally requires Amazon to rely on a variety of transportation solutions for long and short distances. Throughout the device's lifecycle, Amazon will transport at least 60%* of the Eero Pro 7 - 1 pack's global inbound volume via transportation methods other than air. (*Estimate based on the average of the last five years for a similar product; includes only transportation from when it passes from the manufacturer and other suppliers to the Amazon warehouse.)

Diversification of Transport Modes

Decarbonizing Amazon's transportation network is key to meeting The Climate Pledge goal of carbon neutrality by 2040. According to Amazon's scientific model, sea transportation emissions are approximately 95% lower than air transportation emissions. Since 2020, Amazon has reduced the carbon emissions from transporting its devices by 71%. This has been achieved by prioritizing sea transportation and other lower-carbon options, such as rail and road transport.

Product Use

Amazon determines the expected energy consumption of a device over its useful life and calculates the associated carbon emissions from the use of its devices.

Eco Mode

When Eero's Eco Mode is enabled, the gateway device will reduce its energy consumption, except in certain situations, depending on network conditions and the actual speeds provided by the internet service plan.

End-of-Life

To calculate end-of-life emissions, Amazon estimates the proportion of products that are sent to each disposal procedure, including recycling, incineration, and landfill. Emissions required to transport or treat materials are also considered.

Durability

Amazon conducts dozens of reliability tests to ensure its devices are durable and to replicate everyday situations like drops, tumbles, spills, power cycles, and other wear-and-tear aspects. Amazon also performs over-the-air software updates for customers' devices to prevent frequent replacements.

Trade-ins and Recycling

Disposing of devices is easy. Amazon's Trade-in program allows customers to exchange used devices for a gift card. Devices that customers choose to stop using will be refurbished and resold, or recycled.

Methodology

To meet The Climate Pledge goal of carbon neutrality by 2040, Amazon measures and estimates the product's carbon footprint and identifies opportunities to reduce its carbon emissions. Amazon's lifecycle analysis models align with internationally recognized standards, including the Greenhouse Gas Protocol (GHG Protocol) Product Life Cycle Accounting and Reporting Standard² and the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 14067 standard³.

Amazon's product carbon footprint results are reviewed by Carbon Trust with reasonable assurance. Carbon footprint results are estimates, and Amazon continuously improves its methodology as science and available data evolve.

What is an Amazon Device Carbon Footprint?

Amazon calculates this product's carbon footprint across its lifecycle stages, including materials and manufacturing, transportation, use, and end-of-life. The lifecycle impact is calculated using the 100-year global warming potential period (GWP100) from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) in CO₂ equivalent (CO₂e) factors⁴. Two parameters are considered in the carbon footprint: 1) total carbon emissions across all lifecycle stages of a device or accessory (in kilograms of carbon dioxide equivalent or kg CO₂e) and 2) average annual carbon emissions per year of use based on the device's estimated lifespan in kg CO₂e/year of use.

Materials and Manufacturing:

Amazon calculates carbon emissions from materials and manufacturing based on the list of raw materials and components used to manufacture a product, known as the bill of materials. It considers emissions from raw material extraction, production, and transportation, as well as the manufacturing, transportation, and assembly of all parts. For certain components and materials, primary data may be collected from suppliers to supplement industry average data from publicly available and market-based lifecycle analysis databases.

Transportation:

Amazon estimates product transportation emissions from final assembly to customer delivery, using actual or approximate averages for distance and transportation modes for each device or accessory.

Use:

Amazon calculates emissions associated with product use (e.g., electricity consumption) by multiplying the total estimated electricity consumption over the device's lifespan by the carbon emissions generated per kWh of electricity (the grid's emission factor). The total energy consumption of a device is based on average customer usage and the estimated time spent in various operating modes, such as music playback, video playback, idle, or low power. Some customers may have a higher or lower use-phase footprint associated with their device depending on their specific usage patterns.

Grid electricity emission factors are used to account for regional variations in the electricity generation mix. More information on how Amazon plans to decarbonize and neutralize the use phase of its connected devices by 2040.

End-of-Life:

For end-of-life emissions, Amazon considers all emissions necessary to transport or treat materials for each disposal procedure (e.g., recycling, incineration, or landfill).

How is the Product Carbon Footprint Used?

It helps identify opportunities to reduce carbon across the lifecycle stages of this device. Amazon also uses it to report progress in carbon reduction over time, including calculating Amazon's corporate carbon footprint. More information on the corporate carbon footprint methodology.

How Often is the Product Carbon Footprint Updated?

After a new product is launched, Amazon monitors and inspects the carbon emissions of all its device lifecycle phases. Sustainability fact sheets are updated when a device's estimated carbon footprint increases by more than 10% or due to new information that changes the data in Amazon's model. These changes include adjustments to product design, changes in product energy use, and updates to transportation data. To ensure fair comparisons of new products, comparative product carbon footprints are recalculated, and methodology and emission factor updates are incorporated. This report serves as an informational guide and should not be used for product comparisons.
