Lenovo Product Carbon Footprint (PCF) Information Sheet

Commercial Name: Lenovo V15 2nd Gen ITL

Model Number: 82KB, 82NB

Issue Date: 2020-12-21

Product Environmental Attributes

Product Carbon Footprint Value: 269 kg of CO₂e (see Note 1 below)

Product Picture: A Lenovo laptop computer, open and displaying the Windows operating system on its screen. The laptop has a silver-colored chassis.

Life Cycle Detail by Component & Life Stage (Pie Chart)

A pie chart illustrating the life cycle carbon footprint (CO₂e) breakdown by component and life stage for the Lenovo V15 2nd Gen ITL notebook. The largest contributors are Display (33%), Mainboard and other boards (23%), and Transportation (17%). Other components include Power Supply (10%), Hard Drive (5%), Solid State Drive (5%), Battery (2%), and EoL Chassis & Assembly (3%). Packaging and Use contribute 1% each. Optical Drive is listed at 0%.

Notes and Calculation Details

Note 1: All estimates of carbon footprint are uncertain. Lenovo reports the 95th percentile of the carbon footprint estimate to reflect that uncertainty. For this product, that estimate has a mean of 366 kg of CO₂e and standard deviation of 58 kg of CO₂e. For a quantity that follows a normal distribution, the 95th percentile value is equal to the mean plus the standard deviation multiplied by 1.64. Other organizations might report this value as 366 +/- 58 kg of CO₂e.

This PCF was generated using the Product Attribute to Impact Algorithm model, Version 2019-5-8, Date: 2017-7-29 (Product Type: Notebook). The analysis was conducted by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology's Materials Systems Laboratory, August 2012. For further details on the Intended Uses and Limitations of the PAIA Model, please refer to the Link to Document.

This calculation was based upon a Lenovo V15 G2 ITL/IML with the assumptions and configuration described in the calculation assumptions on the next page.

This pie chart provides the percent contribution of the mean value for each element of the analysis for the full life cycle CO₂e impacts of the product. Individual elements displaying 0% are less than 0.5%.

Notes on Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) Phases

Life cycle phases included in the streamlined Product Attribute to Impact Algorithm (PAIA) Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) can be grouped into four categories: Manufacture, Transport, Use, and End of Life.

Manufacture: This life cycle phase captures emissions generated during the extraction, production, and transport of raw materials, the manufacture of components and subassemblies (including the product packaging), and product assembly.
Transport: Emissions included in the transport phase include all those generated during the air, ocean, or land transport of finished or semi-finished Lenovo products between Lenovo facilities and from Lenovo facilities to customers.
Use: In-use energy consumption is calculated in accordance with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's Energy Star® Typical Energy Consumption (TEC) methodology. Calculated energy consumption is then used in combination with average emissions factors for the designated country of use to calculate emissions.
End of Life: It is assumed that a designated portion of the product (see table above) is recycled at the end of the use period determined in the TEC methodology. It is also assumed that the balance of the product waste materials is disposed of by landfill. Emissions generated during the mechanical destruction, separation, and transport of end-of-life materials are included in the calculation.
