Estimated Product Carbon Footprint
moto g96 5G
Model Series: XT2531-2
Device Type: Mobile Smartphone
Report Issue Date: July 17, 2025
Motorola is committed to the environment and performs product lifecycle analysis in accordance with the ISO 14040 and ISO 14044 standards. This analysis helps customers estimate their product's carbon footprint.
The estimated carbon footprint is an approximate measure of greenhouse gas emissions produced over the product's lifecycle, reported as the global warming potential for a 100-year time horizon (GWP-100) in units of CO2 equivalents (CO2e).
Estimated carbon footprint of the moto g96 5G
63.64 Kg CO2e
Assumptions for Estimate
This estimate uses the following assumptions:
| Product Weight (g) | 178 | Screen Size (inches) | 6.67 | Assembly Location | China |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Typical Use Period (years) | 3 | Typical Yearly Energy Use (kWh/a) | 5.80 | Use Location | India |
Lifecycle CO2e Impact Breakdown
The product carbon footprint (PCF) is calculated using GaBi Software version 10, incorporating the most current 2022 updates for modeling product lifecycle steps. GaBi data complies with ISO 14040/14044 standards.
The PCF estimates greenhouse gases from the product lifecycle, including:
- 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.
The pie chart illustrates the percentage contribution of each element to the full lifecycle CO2e impacts:
- Manufacturing: 74.8%
- Use Phase: 24.5%
- Transport: 0.8%
- Housing, Parts: 0.7%
- Other Parts: 2.8%
- End-of-Life (EoL): -0.1%
Methodology and Uncertainty
Communicating these GHG levels through quantitative estimates may involve measurement uncertainty. This uncertainty stems from data sourcing, modeling assumptions, and the characterization factors used to translate environmental emissions into environmental impacts. Due to this uncertainty, direct comparison of PCF results between products or manufacturers is not recommended.
Study Conduct and Legal Information
The LCA study was conducted by the VDE Testing and Certification Institute, Offenbach, Germany, using GaBi Software.
