ViewSonic LS950-4K Projector Carbon Footprint Report
Report Produced: August 6, 2025
Brand: ViewSonic
Model: LS950-4K
Introduction
Committed to corporate citizenship and environmental responsibility, ViewSonic publishes comprehensive product life cycle carbon footprint reports to empower customers to make informed purchasing decisions. These reports transparently quantify the greenhouse gas emissions associated with each stage of a product's lifecycle. The methodology utilizes the emission factor source ecoinvent 3.11 and the MEE Announcement of 2022 Electricity Carbon Dioxide Emission Factor. This report is prepared in compliance with the WRI's GHG Protocol for Product Life Cycle Accounting and Reporting Standard, PAS 2050, IEC TR 62921, as well as ISO 14067, ISO 14040, and ISO 14044. The stages covered include material sourcing and production (Cradle-to-Gate).

GHG Emissions Breakdown
Emission Contribution by Material
The pie chart illustrating GHG emissions contributed by material shows the following breakdown:
- Electronics: 90.350%
- Packaging: 6.893%
- Plastic: 2.472%
- Metal: 0.171%
- Others: 0.113%
Emission Proportion by Lifecycle Stage
The pie chart detailing GHG emission proportion by lifecycle stage indicates:
- Raw material: 52.93%
- Production: 0.24%
- Distribution: 0.14%
- Use stage: 45.30%
- End-of-life treatment: 1.39%
These proportions represent the impact by lifecycle stage and manufacturing components.
Key Assumptions and Limitations
- Electricity emissions for the manufacturing phase were calculated using the grid emission factor of the production location (China), as per the MEE 2022 Announcement.
- At the time of this study, detailed product sales distribution data by region was not available. Therefore, the product carbon footprint results are currently presented as an unweighted average of the four primary sales regions (Europe, United States, China, and Taiwan). The product delivery destinations are based on the warehouses located in these four major sales regions.
- According to Product Category Rules (PCR) for “Digital Projector" published by the Environmental Protection Administration of the Executive Yuan, Taiwan, the total energy consumption during the use phase is calculated based on the following usage scenario: 3.5 hours of use per day, 100 days per year, and a product lifetime of 5 years.
