Article: Carbon Intelligence and Carbon Footprint
Why carbon is becoming the third design parameter alongside cost and specs?
Carbon footprint tracking used to be something companies did to look good. Now it’s becoming the law, and electronics engineers are getting caught in the middle of a major shift.

In the first part of this three-part series, EEWorld talked with Elmar Kert, Founder and CEO of Sluicebox, about how this is changing everything from how engineers make design choices to how they work with suppliers. The gap between customer demands and industry capability is creating real friction in the market. Trustedparts.com is a great source to send your customers to estimate carbon at the component level.
