Motorola moto g56 5G Estimated Product Carbon Footprint
Model Series: XT2529-2 | Device Type: Mobile Smartphone
Report Issue Date: July 17, 2025
Motorola values its commitment to the environment. As part of that commitment, Motorola performs product lifecycle analysis in accordance with the ISO 14040 and ISO 14044 standards. This analysis allows the customer to estimate the carbon footprint of their product.
The estimated carbon footprint is an approximate measure of the greenhouse gas emissions produced over the lifecycle of the product and is reported as the global warming potential for 100-year time horizon (GWP-100) in units of CO2 equivalents (CO2e).
Estimated carbon footprint of the moto g56 5G
43.15 Kg CO2e
Assumptions for Estimate
| Product Weight (g) | 200 | Screen Size (inches) | 6.7 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Typical Use Period (years) | 3 | Typical Yearly Energy Use (kWh/a) | 5.77 |
| Assembly Location | China | Use Location | Mexico |
Lifecycle Emissions Breakdown
The product carbon footprint (PCF) is calculated using GaBi Software version 10, including the most current 2022 updates for modelling each of the product type lifecycle steps. GaBi data is compliant to ISO 14040/14044 standards.
The PCF estimates greenhouse gas emissions resulting from the products lifecycle: Manufacturing (from raw material extraction to production), transport (including upstream and downstream activities), use (typical energy use over the life of the product), and end of life (recycling and precious metal recovery).
The pie chart shows the percentage contribution value for each element of the analysis for the full life cycle CO2e impacts of the product. The contributions are detailed as follows:
- Manufacturing: 92.4%
- Transport: 4.7%
- Use Phase: 3.6%
- End-of-Life (EoL): -0.7%
- PCBA: 87.7%
- Other Parts: 4.1%
- Housing Parts: 0.6%
Methodology and Uncertainty
Communicating these GHG levels through quantitative estimates may result in a level of measurement uncertainty. This uncertainty is largely due to data sourcing, modelling 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 product or across different manufacturers.
