Product Carbon Footprint
X45 Headphones
Product Description: Over ear bluetooth headphones with active noise cancelation.
Life Cycle Assessment: From cradle to grave a total of 42.6 kg of CO2e is emitted.
Top Opportunities:
- Save 7.6 kgCO2e by choosing an FATP site that uses renewable energy.
- Save 2.3 kgCO2e with material substitutions.
- Save 1.2 kgCO2e with injection molding optimizations.
