Description of Each Process
The following sections explore the intricacies of each life cycle stage in the LCA.
Product and Manufacturing Stage (A1-A3)
The product's life cycle begins with the extraction and refining of raw materials, including plastics, and packaging. These materials are
processed into components through molding or machining and assembled into the final product using welding, soldering, or adhesion.
Packaging materials are used for protection and transportation.
Logistical planning for transporting raw materials to the manufacturing site is based on the material weight and the distances from the
supplier location across the globe to the manufacturing sites, using the data provided by Carrier. The transportation data are presented in
the table below.

End-of-Life (C1-C4)
In this stage, the product is transported to a waste processing facility for disassembly and disposed. During the deconstruction the product
is assumed to be collected separately which primarily involves manual labor, resulting in a negligible environmental impact compared to the
overall system, and falls below the cut-off criteria set in EN15804:2012+A2:2019. It is assumed that the unit will be transported by truck to
a waste processing facility for dismantling, with an estimated distance of 100 km to the disposal site. At the end of the product's life, various
materials are involved, each with different recycling rates sourced from reputable data. Based on global recycling data, it is assumed
that 12.5% of mixed electronic components and 9% of ABS polymer are recovered through recycling processes. The remaining percentages
for each material are assumed to be disposed of in landfills.

ENVIRONMENTAL PERFORMANCE
The life cycle assessment calculations were conducted using EIME tool, a cloud-based software compliant with relevant standards. The LCA
data utilized in this analysis is sourced from CODDE-2024-04. The software calculates the environmental impacts for the stages under study
by multiplying the numeric inputs with the impact factors from the database. The study does not consider long-term emissions (i.e., over
one hundred years). Characterization factors PEF (EF 3.1) have been used throughout the study. Parameters used in the study are presented
in the table below.

*EN 15804:2012+A2:2019 specifies that the unit for the indicator for Eutrophication aquatic freshwater shall be kg PO 4 eq, although the reference given
(“EUTREND model, Struijs et al., 2009b, as implemented in ReCiPe”) uses the unit kg P eq. This is a typographical error in EN 5804, which is expected to be
corrected in a future revision. The results in kg PO4 eq. can be obtained by multiplying the results in kg P eq. with a factor of 3.07.

Asia exhibits the highest values for GWP, while Europe shows comparatively lower impacts, indicating a cleaner grid. This comparison underscores regional differences in operational energy consumption and associated
impacts. The data indicates that European electricity, with a higher share of renewable energy in its grid, has the lowest GWP for both total and fossil categories, significantly outperforming the USA and Asia Pacific.
Additionally, Europe shows lower values in other impact categories such as Acidification Potential (AP) and Eutrophication Potential (EP) for freshwater, marine, and terrestrial environments, suggesting a more
environmentally friendly profile. This highlights its lesser contribution to acid rain and nutrient pollution.
Overall, the comprehensive analysis of these impact categories underscores that by choosing electricity sources with lower environmental impacts, stakeholders can significantly reduce the ecological footprint of their
operations. This approach not only supports environmental sustainability but also aligns with global efforts to combat climate change and promote cleaner energy solutions.

INTERPRETATION
Life Cycle Overview of OptiFlex™ - OF683XT-E2
The life cycle assessment of the OptiFlex™ - OF683XT-E2 reveals key areas of environmental impact. The biggest impact is operational energy use (B6), which has the highest GWP of 6,175.00 kg CO2 eq. due to its
energy consumption of 9,636 kWh over 20-year service life. The A1-A3 material stage contributes to 477.00 kg CO2 eq. mainly due to the use of electronics raw materials and plastics. The End-of-Life stages (C1-C4)
has 0.662 kg CO2 eq. during the waste processing and disposal stage. Finally, at the transportation of the product to the installation site (A4), the transportation of product contributes to GWP of 0.655 kg CO 2 eq. To
mitigate these impacts, it is recommended to improve the energy efficiency of the unit to significantly lower the high emissions associated with operational energy use in the B6 stage. Opting for recycled materials
over virgin materials in the A1-A3 stage can further reduce the overall environmental footprint.
Other stages have minimal environmental impacts compared to these stages. Addressing these areas, mainly through improved energy efficiency and increased use of recycled materials can help mitigate the overall
environmental impact of the product.
