B2X Case Study Carbon Impact Management

Business Case Overview

A B2X partner sought to understand the product carbon footprint involved across their hardware portfolio, which included smartphones, tablets, and networked devices. The focus was initially on accurately recording and subsequently identifying opportunities to improve the product carbon footprint, particularly at the end of life. The aim was to offer repair and recovery services to consumers, encouraging them to return used and unused devices. This, in turn, would help reduce the overall product carbon footprint through refurbishment, remarketing, and material recovery.
