| The physical construction of the Smart Pot is designed to meet strict European standards. To minimize hazard waste, all electronic components must comply with the RoHS Directive, which restricts the use of toxic substances like lead and mercury [(RoHS2011)], all components will be purchased from local Portuguese retailers. Furthermore, the design adheres to the WEEE Directive, prioritizing a modular assembly that allows for easy disassembly. This ensures that the electronics can be separated from the casing at the end of its life, facilitating efficient recycling [(WEEE2012)]. | The physical construction of the Smart Pot is designed to meet strict European standards.

| Table {{ref>LCInventorytable}} estimates the mass and materials for a gravity-fed pot designed for a medium basil plant. The totals are calculated based on a structural weight of approximately 600 grams, plus the electronic components. | Table {{ref>LCInventorytable}} estimates the mass and materials for a gravity-fed pot designed for a medium basil plant.
