FBA: Fibre Broadband Deployment paramount to achieving Zero Carbon Footprint
The whitepaper "Fibre Broadband Deployment Paramount to Achieving Zero Carbon Footprint” positions fibre broadband as a critical infrastructure component for achieving sustainability goals and transitioning to low-carbon digital economies. Fibre deployment also presents opportunities to recycle older network components (like coaxial and copper) as networks are upgraded.
In estimating the carbon footprint associated with manufacturing different components of the network, three lifecycle stages were considered: raw materials extraction, processing, and manufacturing.
