ABSTRACT
The electronics industry, a vital pillar of modern society, faces substantial challenges in its path to achieving net-zero emissions by 2050. Central to this effort is the need to decarbonize the entire supply chain. This article explores the complexities associated with collecting primary emissions data from both manufacturing processes and supply chain partners. It emphasizes the importance of primary data over secondary data, which only provides industry averages that are insufficient to achieve a net-zero target. The discussion looks at technological advancements, collaborative strategies, and policy measures required to transform the electronics industry into a net-zero industry.
