PAS 2050 - Code of Good Practice for product GHG emissions and reduction claims
13th November 20081 Comment
The Carbon Trust is an independent company set up by the UK Government in 2001 in response to the threat of climate change. Its mission is to accelerate the move to a low carbon economy by working with business and the public sector to reduce carbon emissions and develop commercial low carbon technologies.
The Code of Good Practice for product greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and reduction claims has been developed by the Carbon Trust and Energy Saving Trust to promote the reduction of product life cycle GHG emissions.
This Code has been developed in parallel to PAS 2050, a new standard for assessing carbon footprintings of products.
PAS 2050 – specification for the assessment of the life cycle greenhouse gas emissions of goods and services – was co-sponsored by the Carbon Trust and the UK department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra), and published by the British Standards Institution.
This Code is freely and publicly available for use by any organisation with an interest in measuring and reducing product life cycle greenhouse gas emissions, regardless of the format used (e.g. literature, adverts or product labels).
