EM32DX vs Print / LCD / LED – CO₂ Calculator

Assessment over a selectable horizon (1–10 years), comparing embodied and operational CO₂e for EM32DX versus common printed and backlit signage options. Baseline TÜV PCF: 143.9 kg CO₂e per unit over 5 years at 7 updates/week (≈1/day); use scales with years and update frequency.

Underlying figures (constants)

EM32DX embodied (mfg + dist + EoL) – kg per unit

EM32DX use (5y) at 7 updates/week – kg per unit

Paper poster per A2 – kg

PVC banner per A2 – kg

Acrylic panel per A2 – kg

Fabric (polyester) per A2 – kg

Cardboard per A2 – kg

Reprints per day (derived)

LCD 32″ operation (kg per display, 5y)

LED panel operation (kg per display, 5y)

Printed “per unit” assumes A2 size; reprint rate follows the selected Content updates frequency. LCD/LED “per unit” is operation-only and scales with selected years. EM32DX “per unit” = embodied + scaled use (years and updates/week).
