*Negative value reflects carbon sequestration: the bamboo fiber retains CO2 absorbed during its growth phase even at end-of-life.
3. ENVIRONMENTAL EQUIVALENCY
The 17.0387 kg CO₂e esaved through this procurement choice is equivalent to:
4. UNITED NATIONS SDG ALIGNMENT
This procurement choice directly contributes to the following UN Sustainable Development Goals:
Eliminating reliance on finite mineral extraction and toxic electroplating. By utilizing rapidly renewable bamboo, you support a circular economy and reduce hazardous waste generation at the manufacturing source.
A verified avoidance of 102.23 kgCO2e represents a tangible decarbonization tactic for the Scope 3 (Purchased Goods) inventory, decoupling event rewards from high-emission industrial smelting.
Sourcing from managed bamboo plantations that prevent soil erosion and promote reforestation. This offers a regenerative alternative to the land degradation and habitat loss inherent in open-pit zinc mining.
3. REPORTING BOUNDARY & METHODOLOGY
To maintain data integrity and audit-readiness, this report utilizes a Material-Specific Boundary. This approach eliminates variable “noise” and focuses strictly on the delta between raw material choices.
Included in Scope:
Upstream Extraction: Carbon cost of raw material harvesting/mining and primary smelting/processing.
End-of-Life (S1): Standardized landfill emission scenarios, accounting for carbon sequestration in organic biomass (Bamboo) vs. inert metallic mass (Zamak-3).
Excluded from Scope:
Manufacturing Energy: Variable heat/power used in secondary fabrication.
Logistics: Downstream transport from MedaLAB to client (excluded due to high variability in delivery channels and locations).
