Introduction

Motorola is committed to the environment. As part of this commitment, Motorola performs product lifecycle analysis in accordance with the ISO 14040 and ISO 14044 standards. This analysis allows customers to estimate the carbon footprint of their product.

The estimated carbon footprint is an approximate measure of the greenhouse gas emissions produced over the product's lifecycle. It is reported as the global warming potential for a 100-year time horizon (GWP-100) in units of CO2 equivalents (CO2e).

Estimated Carbon Footprint

The estimated carbon footprint of the moto watch fit is 11.68 Kg CO2e.

Assumptions for Estimate

This estimate uses the following assumptions:

Parameter	Value	Parameter	Value	Parameter	Value
Product Weight (g)	31	Screen Size (inches)	1.85	Assembly Location	China
Typical Use Period (years)	3	Typical Yearly Energy Use (kWh/a)	0.66	Use Location	France

Methodology and Lifecycle Stages

The product carbon footprint (PCF) is calculated using GaBi Software version 10, including the most current 2022 updates for modeling each of the product type lifecycle steps. GaBi data is compliant with ISO 14040/14044 standards and produces an estimate of the greenhouse gases resulting from the product's lifecycle:

Manufacturing: From raw material extraction to production.
Transport: Including upstream and downstream activities.
Use: Typical energy use over the product's life.
End of Life: Recycling and precious metal recovery.

Lifecycle Impact Breakdown

The pie chart shows the percentage contribution value for each element of the analysis for the full life cycle CO2e impacts of the product. Key contributors include Manufacturing (96.6%), PCBA (94.0%), Transport (2.7%), Use Phase (1.5%), Other Parts (1.5%), Housing Parts (1.1%), and End-of-Life (0.9%).

Note: The provided pie chart shows PCBA at 94.0% and Manufacturing at 96.6%. This suggests PCBA is a significant part of the manufacturing footprint, or there might be an overlap in categorization. The values are presented as per the original document.

Uncertainty and Comparability

Communicating these GHG levels through quantitative estimates may result in a level of measurement uncertainty. This uncertainty is largely due to data sourcing, modeling assumptions, and the different characterization factors used to translate environmental emissions into environmental impacts. Due to this uncertainty, it is not useful to compare the PCF result between products or across different manufacturers.

LCA Study

The LCA study was conducted by the VDE Testing and Certification Institute, Offenbach, Germany. The study uses GaBi Software.
