Paper Pro: Product Impact Summary
Evaluating a product’s environmental impact involves examining relevant lifecycle stages, from raw material sourcing and manufacturing energy use to transportation and repairability.
The environmental assessment for reMarkable Paper Pro is based on cradle-to-grave lifecycle mapping conducted by CEMAsys (2023–2024) in accordance with ISO 14040:2006 and GHG Protocol standards.
The total carbon footprint of each reMarkable Paper Pro is 58 kg CO₂e across its complete cradle-to-grave life cycle (covering raw materials, manufacturing, transport, usage, and end-of-life processing).
Production & Supply Chain (82%): Much of our overall footprint stems from electricity used during manufacturing. At the component level, producing the Printed Circuit Board Assembly (PCBA) and the display are the two biggest factors, responsible for 37% of production emissions each.
Assembly Energy Mix: During the Tier-1 final assembly phase, renewable energy accounts for 19% of the electricity used for reMarkable Paper Pro, and 10% for Type Folio, verified via supplier energy attribute reporting.
Logistics, Use & End-of-Life (18%): Transport accounts for 16% of total lifecycle emissions, active customer usage accounts for 1.8%, and final end-of-life treatment accounts for 0.2%.
Accessory mapping
Our detailed mapping also extends to our accessories collection, where full numbers can be found here. One clear finding is the higher carbon intensity of our leather folios compared to alternative materials, primarily driven by raw material sourcing and tanning stages.
