Summary:
|
In 2019, ITU-T Study Group 5 Question 7 (Q7/5) published ITU-T L.1015 “Criteria for evaluation of the environmental impact of mobile phones”. ITU-T L.1015 contains many relevant indicators related to the environmental impacts of mobile phones, but no standardised scoring methodology. Additional documents of relevance produced by Q7/5 include scoring methods for environmental health and safety performance of true wireless stereo headphones (ITU-T L.1016 in 2022) and circularity performance scoring for ICT goods (ITU-T L.1023 in 2020 and just recently an update in 2023).
ETSI EE Working Group M-ICT “Environmental matters associated with Mobile ICT Devices” is dedicated exactly to the intended scope and purpose of these kinds of scoring methods.
European and international markets are in need of a standardized scoring method for the environmental performance of smartphones which goes beyond just reparability criteria and can provide a more robust foundation for non-LCA based Green Claims. Features of such a method include:
• Additional indicators to differentiate best performing products that reach beyond regulatory requirements.
• Definition of weightings to combine all indicators into a single score.
