Carbon Accounting for Electronic Assemblies

Companies designing printed circuit boards (PCBs) often struggle with performing carbon accounting during the product design phases. Traditionally, life cycle assessment (LCA) is conducted after the PCB has been manufactured, impacting time to market and product budget. Carbon Accounting for Electronic Assemblies solutions on AWS enable PCB engineering teams to shift the carbon accounting effort earlier, during the design cycle, by mapping PCB design data with known scope 3 sustainability data from validated LCA sources. This leads to the optimization of the carbon footprint before manufacturing commences, helping customers realize significant cost and time savings, meet greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions standards, and deliver environmentally compliant products on the first pass. With these solutions, organizations can streamline tracking, reporting, and optimization of GHG emission data during the product design cycles, aggregate product carbon footprint with corporate reporting requirements, and optimize their climate impact strategies.
