Pioneering Sustainability in Electronics with Instant Carbon
Footprint Estimates
MUNICH, July 17, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Luminovo announces
a new partnership with Sluicebox. This partnership will
revolutionize the way electronic manufacturers and designers manage
new sustainability requirements globally by providing instant
carbon footprint estimates not only for individual electronic
components, but also printed circuit boards (PCBs), and whole
assemblies.
New regulations and NetZero goals are increasing the demand for
detailed life cycle assessments (LCAs) and transparency in
sustainability data across the electronics supply chain. While it
has been challenging and costly to obtain CO2 emission data for
procured parts and assemblies, this partnership aims to simplify
and reduce the cost of accessing this critical information.
"Over 1 year ago, I told our sales team, 'the new magic
electronics triangle will not be about costs, speed, and quality,
but about costs, speed, and sustainability.' Today, we are the
first software solution for the electronics supply chain that can
offer product carbon footprint estimates for an actual Printed
Circuit Board Assembly," says Sebastian
Schaal, managing director at Luminovo. "By combining
Sluicebox's unique data for standard components with our model for
the printed circuit board, we can offer our customers unprecedented
insights into their products' environmental impacts, helping them
achieve NetZero goals, improve sustainability ratings effortlessly
and positioning themselves as innovators."
True decarbonization requires a shift from retrospective
reporting to proactive, action-driven frameworks," says
Elmar Kert, CEO of Sluicebox. "Our
product carbon footprint solution surfaces CO2 emissions at the
speed of ideas, design, and procurement. I'm thrilled to see this
solution come to life by partnering with Luminovo. This partnership
allows us to provide emissions data for electronic components,
transforming how businesses approach sustainability in their design
and sourcing processes. We are enabling companies to gain a
competitive edge and efficiently meet emerging regulatory
requirements that will create global GDPR-like ripple
effects. "
The benefits of this new partnership include:
- Inspect: Upload your Bill of Materials (BOM) and
Gerber files to see CO2e estimates for each manufacturer part
number (MPN) and your PCB instantly.
- Optimize: Assist engineers in prioritizing
eco-friendly parts, future-proofing designs, and providing new
supply chain insights.
- Comply: Secure initial estimates for entire PCBAs
in seconds, and fully verified Product Carbon Footprints (PCFs)
within weeks.
Luminovo's integration with Sluicebox will provide instant
carbon footprint estimates for all electronic components, PCBs, and
assemblies managed within Luminovo's platform. Carbon footprint
data for other custom parts, like metal or plastic parts, as well
as adding the carbon footprint for the assembly process itself is
on the roadmap. Sluicebox's extensive data provides carbon
estimates for over 75% of all globally available electronic
components. Their methods adhere to European Sustainability
Reporting Standards (ESRS) and utilize primary data down to the
node technology level where available.
