We consider sustainability in every stage of a device’s life
cycle—from sourcing raw materials to end-of-life.
eero Max 7 – 3 Pack total life cycle carbon emissions: 1814 kg CO2e
Carbon emissions of each life cycle stage:

Life Cycle Assessment: A methodology to assess the environmental impact (e.g., carbon emissions) associated with life cycle
stages of a product—from raw material extraction and processing, through production, use, and disposal.
This product’s biogenic carbon emissions of 3.258 kg CO2e are included in the total footprint calculation. The total biogenic
carbon content in this product is 0.205 kg C. Percentage values may not add up to 100% due to rounding.

Materials and Manufacturing

We account for the extraction, production, and transportation
of raw materials, as well as the manufacturing, transporting,
and assembling of all parts.

Recycled Materials

This device is made from 61% recycled materials.
The plastic in this device is made from 49% postconsumer
recycled plastic. The aluminum parts
are made from 94% of recycled aluminum. We
incorporate recycled fabrics, plastics, and metals
into many new Amazon devices, giving new life to
materials. Bundle accessories not included.

Chemical Safety

Through our partnership with Chem FORWARD,
we’re collaborating with industry peers to
proactively identify harmful chemicals and safer
alternatives ahead of regulations.

Suppliers

We engage suppliers who manufacture our
devices or their components—particularly final
assembly sites, semiconductors, printed circuit
boards, displays, batteries, and accessories—and
encourage them to increase renewable energy
use and reduce manufacturing emissions. In
2022, we received commitments from 28 key
suppliers to work with us on decarbonization,
and helped six of them develop renewable
energy implementation plans for Amazon
Devices production. We are continuing to expand
this program in 2023 and beyond.

Transportation

We account for an average inbound and outbound trip
that is representative of an average device or accessory.
This includes transporting the product from final
assembly to the end customer.

Amazon Commitment

Delivering for our global customers requires Amazon to rely on a variety of
transportation solutions for long and short distances. Decarbonizing our
transportation network is a key part of meeting The Climate Pledge by 2040.
That’s why we’re actively transforming our fleet network and operations.

Product Use

We determine the expected energy consumption of a device over
its lifetime and calculate the carbon emissions associated with the
use of our devices.

Renewable Energy

In 2020, Amazon became the first consumer
electronics company to commit to addressing the
electricity used by our devices through renewable
energy development, starting with Echo devices.
We’re making investments in additional wind and
solar farm capacity that, by 2025, will be equal to
the energy use of Echo, FireTV, and Ring devices
worldwide.

Eco Efficiency Mode

With Eco Efficiency Mode enabled, the power
consumption of eero mesh wifi routers optimize
to the actual speeds provided by your internet
service plan. eero mesh wifi routers already run
regular speed tests, allowing our customers to
always know the actual internet speeds they are
getting, and now customers can enable Eco
Efficiency Mode to lower the energy used by their
eero router based on those actual speeds. Even
better, Eco Efficiency Mode was built so as to not
impact the performance customers see across
their eero mesh network. Eco Efficiency Mode is
enabled by default, but can be disabled within
the eero app settings, so our customers can
decide whether to keep the feature on or turn it
off.

End-of-Life

To model end-of-life emissions, we estimate the ratio of end products that are
sent to each disposal pathway including recycling, combustion, and landfill.
We also account for any emissions required to transport and/or treat the materials.

Durability

We design our devices with best-in-class
reliability models, so they’re more resilient and
last longer. We also release over-the-air software
updates for our customers’ devices so they don’t
need to replace them as often. With backwards
compatibility, you can grow your network by
adding more eero devices. So, as your needs
change, you can easily connect new extenders or
boosters to your current eero router.

Trade-in & Recycling

We make it easy for you to retire your devices.
Using Amazon Trade-In, you can trade-in your
old devices for a gift card. Your retired devices
will then be either refurbished and re-sold, or
recycled.

Methodology

Our approach to measuring
a product’s carbon footprint?

To meet The Climate Pledge goal to be net-zero
carbon by 2040, we measure and estimate this
product’s carbon footprint, and identify opportunities
to reduce its carbon emissions. Our life cycle
assessment (“LCA”) models align with internationally
recognized standards, like the Greenhouse Gas (“GHG”)

Protocol Product Life Cycle Accounting and Reporting
Standard2 and International Standards Organization
(“ISO”) 140673. Our methodology and product carbon
footprint results are reviewed by the Carbon Trust with
reasonable assurance. All carbon footprint numbers are
estimates and we continuously improve our
methodology as the science and data available to us
evolve.

What’s in an Amazon device’s
product carbon footprint?
We calculate this product’s carbon footprint
throughout its life cycle stages, including materials and
manufacturing, transportation, use, and end-of-life.

Two carbon footprint metrics are considered: 1) the
total carbon emissions across all life cycle stages of one
device or accessory (in kilograms of carbon dioxide
equivalent, or kg CO2e), and 2) the average carbon
emissions per year used of the estimated device
lifetime, in kg CO2e/use-year.

Materials and Manufacturing: We calculate the carbon
emissions from material and manufacturing based on
the list of raw materials and components to
manufacture a product, namely the bill of materials.

We account for the emissions from the extraction,
production, and transportation of raw materials, as well
as the manufacturing, transporting, and assembling of
all parts. For certain components and materials, we
may collect primary data from our suppliers to
supplement our industry average data, collected from a
mix of commercially and publicly available LCA
databases.

Transportation: We estimate the emissions of
transporting the product from final assembly to our
end customer using actual or best estimated average
transportation distances and transportation modes for
each device or accessory.

Use: We calculate the emissions associated with the use
(i.e., electricity consumption) of this product by
multiplying the total electricity consumption over a
device’s estimated lifetime with the carbon emissions
from the generation of 1 kWh electricity (the grid
emission factor). The total energy consumption of a
device is based on the average customer’s power
consumption and estimated time spent in various
modes of operation like playing music, playing video,
idle, and low power mode. A specific customer may
have a higher or lower use phase footprint associated
with their device depending on their specific usage
patterns.

We use country-specific grid emission factors to
account for the regional variations in electricity grid
mix. Learn more about how Amazon plans to
decarbonize and neutralize the use phase of our
connected devices by 2040.

End-of-Life: For end-of-life emissions, we account for
any emissions required to transport and/or treat the
materials destined to each disposal pathway (e.g.,
recycling, combustion, landfill).
How do we use the product carbon
footprint?

The footprint helps us identify carbon reduction
opportunities across this product’s various life cycle
stages. In addition, we use it to communicate our
carbon reduction progress over time—this is included
in the calculation of Amazon’s corporate carbon
footprint. Learn more about Amazon corporate carbon
footprint methodology.
How often do we update a product’s carbon footprint?

After we launch a new product, we track and audit the
carbon emissions of all life cycle phases of our devices.
Product sustainability fact sheets are updated when we
discover new information that changes the estimated
carbon footprint of a device by more than 5% or if it
materially changes our estimated reduction generation
over generation.
Learn more about our product carbon footprint
methodology and limitations in our full methodology
document.
