Environmental Impact

Carbon Footprint

Honor's smart devices were assessed based on lifecycle assessment (LCA) methodology according to ISO 14040 and ISO 14044. To determine the potential environmental impact through the whole lifecycle, data from product bill of material (BOM), energy consumption, assumed distribution, usage scenario, and disposal are collected and modeled in SimaPro software.

The product carbon footprint environmental impact is based on the configuration of 8GB RAM and 256GB ROM device. For the assessment of the GHG emissions, the functional unit is defined as the usage of the smartphone (3 years), including its accessories and packaging. The different life cycle stages contribute to the total impact as follows:

Raw Material & Manufacturing: 82.17%
Mobile Phone Assembly: 1.88%
Distribution: 5.91%
Consumer Use: 9.78%
End of Life Disposal: 0.25%

The GHG emissions of the same device with 8GB RAM and 512GB ROM configuration is 55.6Kg CO2e. The results depend on the assessment method, scoping, and assumptions used, and are not directly comparable with those conducted by other parties.

Restricted Substances

Honor complies with the strict European Directive on the Restriction of the Use of Certain Hazardous Substances in Electrical and Electronic Equipment (RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU), REACH (Regulation No 1907/2006), EU Battery Directive (2006/66/EC), and EU Packaging Directive (94/62/EC). Honor further restricts the use of more harmful potential substances not yet regulated:

BFR (Brominated Flame Retardants) free
CFR (Chlorinated Flame Retardants) free
PVC free
Arsenic- free display glass
Antimony trioxide free (except for use in ceramic and glass components)
Beryllium (and its compounds) free

This approach reduces the negative environmental impact and promotes the recycling of material resources.

Energy Efficiency

Power Efficiency

The product utilizes power-efficient components and software to intelligently manage power consumption, thereby reducing greenhouse gas emissions during the use phase. The device, including the recommended charger, meets the energy efficiency requirements of EU ErP Directive (EU) 2019/1782 and Commission Regulation (EU) 2023/826.

Materials

Material Selection & Recyclability

Minimized materials are used for the product and packaging, with most materials being recyclable and easily processed at the disposal stage. All packaging and manuals are printed using soy ink. To reduce CO2 emissions, low-carbon materials such as recycled and bio-based materials are selected. For example, the mainboard frame is made of post-consumer recycled plastic (approx. 30% content), and bio-based plastic (approx. 30% content) is used in the sidekey-latch-assy and the poke needle.

HONOR 400 Material Overview:

Metals: 19.92%
Plastics: 9.85%
Glass & Ceramics: 13.68%
Battery: 37.50%
Circuit Board: 5.34%
Others: 9.08%

Recycling

A New Life for Devices

Honor minimizes material waste at the end of life through ultracompact, ease-to-disassembly, and environmentally friendly design. Due to the use of recyclable materials, minimal waste will be landfilled after professional recycling. To give old devices a new life, Honor cooperates with qualified third-party recycling companies through trade-in services. This project is initially launched in China and will be extended to other countries in the future.
