Carbon labelling…may as well be in Japanese
Wed 20 Aug 2008
BFF has been closely involved with the development of PAS 2050 for product labelling in the UK. The principle of labelling is to inform consumers of products’ impacts to support decision-making, but the merits of the scheme have been intensively debated in the UK. Recent news has reported that Japan is also launching a labelling scheme which raises the question of compatibility - are study boundaries, conversion factors and reporting units (CO2 or CO2e) consistent? BFF will be keeping an eye on the international approach to product labelling.
