Carbon labelling is increasingly being used to demonstrate the energy, and therefore carbon emissions, used in the production of a product, including the production of the raw material, processing and packaging. One of the first categories to use carbon labelling has been the food industry. Its adoption within the construction industry will serve to highlight the considerable carbon benefits to be gained by using wood products.

The process of carbon labelling involves calculating and labelling a product with the amount of CO2 that has been produced during its lifecycle, giving the product an individual ‘Carbon Footprint’.

Carbon Labelling is a new scheme being piloted by the Carbon Trust that calculates the carbon footprint of products, goods or services. The information is printed on a label, showing consumers how much CO2 is generated during its production, use and disposal.
