Inside Raspberry Pi's carbon accounting: From resistors to regulatory reporting

Raspberry Pi has detailed its component-level methodology for calculating Scope 3 emissions across its hardware products. The process involves disassembling devices down to individual capacitors and resistors, weighing each material, then mapping to the ecoinvent database for emissions factors. Specialist firm Inhabit helped develop life cycle assessments excluding variable usage phases. The company states this granular approach identifies high-impact materials more effectively than industry averages.
