Publicly available life cycle assessments document our products’ environmental impact

Publicly available life cycle assessments document our products’ environmental impact

We are excited to announce that Cisco is now publishing life cycle assessments (LCAs) for some of our hardware products. LCAs estimate a product’s environmental impact associated with its production, transport, use, and end-of-life. An LCA takes multiple environmental impact categories into account, including greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, water consumption, resource depletion and others, and evaluates all stages of a product’s life cycle using an inventory of relevant environmental inputs. The LCA reports are publicly…

Cleaner air, healthier buildings: How Carbon Reform is modernizing indoor environments for health and efficiency

Cleaner air, healthier buildings: How Carbon Reform is modernizing indoor environments for health and efficiency

As climate change accelerates, the need to make buildings more sustainable, energy-efficient, and healthier has never been clearer. While many climate tech solutions focus on reducing outdoor emissions, there’s a growing recognition that indoor air quality is also a growing issue. Americans spend about 90% of their time indoors, where pollutants like CO₂ and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) can accumulate, making indoor air up to five times more polluted than outdoor air. Poor indoor air…
