Comparison Against Baseline
To assess this device’s carbon footprint, we compare its emissions to a
baseline device: Ring Video Doorbell 4th Gen. This helps us track our progress
in reducing this device’s carbon footprint.
Life Cycle Carbon Emissions (kg CO2e)
- 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 -0.027 kg CO2e are included in the total footprint calculation. The total biogenic carbon content in this product is 0.037 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 10% recycled materials. The plastic in this device is
made from 41% post-consumer recycled plastic (resin from battery not
included). We incorporate recycled fabrics, plastics, and metals into many new
Amazon devices, giving new life to materials. Bundle accessories not included.
Recyclable Packaging
This device has 100% recyclable packaging. 99% of this device’s packaging is
made of wood fiber-based materials from responsibly managed forests or
recycled sources.
Chemical Safety
Through our partnership with ChemFORWARD, we’re collaborating with industry
peers to proactively identify harmful chemicals and safer alternatives ahead
of regulations.
Suppliers
All of our assembly sites for this product have achieved UL Zero Waste to
Landfill Silver certification. This means our suppliers handle waste in
environmentally responsible ways, diverting more than 90% of their facility’s
waste from the landfill through methods other than waste to energy.
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.
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.
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.

limitations in our full methodology document.
