ECIA Partners with Sluicebox to Provide Precise Carbon Footprint Data to OEMs on TrustedParts.com Atlanta - TrustedParts.com is pleased to announce a partnership with Sluicebox, an AI-Accelerated product life cycle assessment (LCA) platform revolutionizing carbon intelligence within the electronic components industry. This integration enables approved OEMs to view powerful, precise carbon footprint data from Sluicebox directly in the TrustedParts.com Bill of Materials (BOM) tool, highlighting high-emission areas early in the design process. Component manufacturers now have a breakthrough solution: when customers request carbon footprint data, they can now be directed to the TrustedParts.com BOM tool for instant, auditable product footprint values. Preferred by some of the electronics industry’s largest brands, peer-reviewed, and audited by third parties, Sluicebox's methodology provides reliable carbon emissions estimates. Sluicebox’s generative LCA technology utilizes AI to calculate carbon emissions at the electronic component level. Unlike traditional approaches, this solution provides faster, more accurate, and ISO-compliant results by modeling production processes and verifying them with validated data sources. “ECIA and some of our members have been working with Sluicebox to vet their methodology,” explained ECIA SVP Victor Meijers. “We are now convinced that their technology is the most accurate one in the industry for calculating the CO2 of electronic components at the part number level. By offering access to this data via TrustedParts.com we are helping to give engineers the ability to quickly incorporate eco-design into their processes.” "This integration puts instant, accurate carbon footprint data at engineers' fingertips right where they need it—in their BOM tool," said Elmar Kert, CEO Sluicebox. "Now OEMs can make carbon-conscious design decisions without slowing down their workflow." Sluicebox carbon emissions data is only available to original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) who have a verified TrustedParts.com account. Carbon emissions estimates calculated on TrustedParts.com may not be shared with third parties.| To learn more about using this helpful integration, review our Carbon Footprint Estimates documentation.
