Smartphone Carbon Footprint, Lifecycle Assessment, and the Role of Hardware Repair: An Operational Engineering Model for Circular Electronics

This publication synthesizes findings from leading peer-reviewed industrial ecology literature (Cordella et al., Pamminger et al., Boldoczki et al.) and regulatory standards (ISO 14040:2006, EU Ecodesign) through the operational lens of an independent technical service provider. It addresses the prevailing oversimplifications in carbon accounting, demonstrating why hardware repair cannot be characterized by a uniform mitigation coefficient.
