Belkin has achieved carbon neutrality for its Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions and is now focusing on its supply chain and logistics to hit Scope 3 targets by 2030. The company is using life cycle assessments and better supplier data to track and reduce its total carbon footprint. Beyond emissions, Belkin is shifting toward a circular economy by increasing the use of post-consumer recycled materials in its products and reducing single-use plastic packaging by 95 percent since 2019.

Hitting Scope 1 and 2 is the easy part. The real challenge is Scope 3 because you are relying on third party data and supplier honesty. I want to see the specific reporting standards they are using to verify those supply chain numbers.

Exactly. They mention 3,200 metric tons reduced, but they base that on an average of 5 tons of CO2e per tonne of plastic. That is a broad assumption. Do they have actual primary data from the factories or are they just using industry averages?

Belkin is pushing for carbon neutrality by 2030. They already cleared Scope 1 and 2. Now they are tackling the supply chain and recycled plastics. Worth a look if you track how consumer electronics handle circularity.

The 95 percent drop in single use plastic is a solid win. Most companies just swap one plastic for another slightly different one. Using 90 percent PCR in some products is a better direction, provided the recycling stream can actually handle the volume.
