The Electronic Components Industry Association (ECIA) announces the addition of Sluicebox to its Service Partner Programme. The collaboration underscores ECIA’s commitment to fostering innovation and sustainability within the electronics supply chain.
Sluicebox is the industry’s first provider of Component Carbon Intelligence – an advanced platform that empowers component manufacturers to automate Product Carbon Footprint (PCF) reporting with accuracy, speed, and audit readiness.
Founded by scientists and AI engineers from NASA, Amazon, and Uber, Sluicebox offers a transformative approach to meet the escalating demand for transparent carbon data from OEMs, distributors, and regulatory agencies – eliminating the costs and complexity associated with manual Life Cycle Assessments (LCAs). The platform utilises artificial intelligence to extract, estimate, and standardise emissions data, delivering verifiable Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) for every component.
“Sluicebox has pioneered the industry’s first AI-supported, engineer-developed solution for component-level carbon emissions data,” said Victor Meijers, Senior Vice President of ECIA. “Many of our members are actively developing methodologies to capture meaningful, granular data to meet customer and regulatory demands. Sluicebox’s platform offers a proven, scalable solution to accelerate those efforts.”
Elmar Kert, CEO and Founder of Sluicebox, said: “We are thrilled to partner with ECIA and its members to advance sustainable electronics through our AI-driven platform. Together, we can enable component manufacturers to achieve greater transparency, efficiency, and trust in their sustainability efforts – driving meaningful change across the industry.”
Key benefits of Sluicebox for ECIA members:
- Supports comprehensive coverage for 99% of all globally available electronic components
- Facilitates compliance with emerging sustainability mandates
- Enhances stakeholder trust through verified, transparent carbon data – 3rd party verifiable including EPDs
- Accelerates sustainability initiatives with automated, reliable emissions reporting

The ECIA Service Partner (ESP) Programme was established to extend the Association’s value by collaborating with industry-leading organisations that deliver specialised solutions. This initiative enables ECIA members to access innovative tools and expertise beyond the scope of the core organisation, addressing critical business and sustainability goals.
