Tiivistelmä
The entertainment business has undergone a revolution as a result of the quick growth of media streaming services that have changed the way we consume digital information. A thorough impact assessment is required due to the considerable environmental effects of these streaming services. The life cycle analysis and carbon footprint of media streaming services are examined in this thesis, with a particular emphasis on mediaboxes and IT infrastructure.
The main goal of this thesis is to evaluate the environmental effects of media streaming services with an emphasis on carbon footprint and life cycle assessments. The study seeks to offer useful insights to stakeholders and provide methods for reducing the ecological footprint of media streaming services by identifying the major sources of energy use and carbon emissions. The work gives a detailed life cycle analysis of media streaming services through research and data gathering. Case analysis demonstrates how substantial a role material extraction and device production play in the overall environmental impact. Additionally, a sizable fraction of the carbon emissions are caused by the IT infrastructure, notably data centres. The results of this thesis emphasise how crucial it is for the media streaming sector to adopt sustainable practices. The life cycle study has shown key stages where focused interventions can significantly improve the environment.
