The Standard

Results of product footprint can widely vary depending on the accounting framework, product boundaries and allocation methods chosen. In the past we have drawn on protocols from international programs and in published literature. Presently carbonlabels.org is working with the key international organizations involved with product carbon footprinting standards in the hope of developing a single, universally-accepted method for measuring a product's life cycle greenhouse gas emissions. As these new standards emerge we will update this site.
