Atlanta - The Electronic Components Industry Association (ECIA) is proud to announce the addition of Sluicebox to its Service Partner Program. The collaboration underscores ECIA’s commitment to fostering innovation and sustainability within the electronics supply chain.

Sluicebox, a breakthrough leader in AI-powered environmental data solutions, is the industry’s first provider of Component Carbon Intelligence™—an advanced platform that empowers component manufacturers to automate Product Carbon Footprint (PCF) reporting with unmatched accuracy, speed, and audit readiness.

Founded by scientists and AI engineers from NASA, Amazon, and Uber, Sluicebox offers a transformative approach to meet the escalating demand for transparent carbon data from OEMs, distributors, and regulatory agencies—eliminating the costs and complexity associated with manual Life Cycle Assessments (LCAs).

"Sluicebox has pioneered the industry's first AI-supported, engineer-developed solution for component-level carbon emissions data," said Victor Meijers, Senior Vice President of ECIA. "Many of our members are actively developing methodologies to capture meaningful, granular data to meet customer and regulatory demands. Sluicebox’s platform offers a proven, scalable solution to accelerate those efforts."

 

Elmar Kert, CEO and Founder of Sluicebox, said, "We are thrilled to partner with ECIA and its members to advance sustainable electronics through our AI-driven platform. Together, we can enable component manufacturers to achieve greater transparency, efficiency, and trust in their sustainability efforts—driving meaningful change across the industry."
