The embodied or upstream GHG-impact of EEE includes impact from high volume constituents such as steel and aluminum for industrial equipment and appliances to higher value constituents such as integrated circuits and other active components for electronic devices.
“Based on the results of several studies, the embodied or upstream GHG-impact of EEE (i.e.outside of the use phase) includes impact from high volume constituents such as steel and aluminum for industrial equipment and appliances to higher value constituents such as integrated circuits and other active components for electronic devices, such as ICT [191][192][193].”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
