On The Path to Net Zero
summary
Companies quantify a phone’s lifecycle as 50 kg per phone lifecycle (about 60% manufacturing, 30% use, 8% logistics, 1–2% recycling) and note 1.5 billion phones sold annually, driving scale decisions. Corporates set net‑zero target 2030 for owned factories but admit 90% of impact sits in suppliers, so they pilot shared product‑carbon‑footprint data across supply chains using a blockchain ledger for product carbon footprints. Banks pair green project financing and sector specialists to underwrite life‑cycle business models (batteries as a service, rooftop PV, heat pumps).
