Ecology and the vast distribution: The first tests of carbon labeling


The preceding article was the supermarket of tomorrow and their services. I'll add here an important point. The supermarkets of the future will require their suppliers to the social and environmental performance of each product. At what you say but me? is the subject of this article. Happy reading

Above all it is important to know that an environmental law will be put in place by 2011.

This law requires the mass distribution of a new mode called carbon labeling.
Each product must contain the index of carbon emitted from manufacturing to distribution.

Thus the customer can know the total CO2 emissions equivalent to his wagon. This figure will also be incorporated in the next invoice price.
Today, many brands (Auchan, Leclerc, Nature Discovery and ...) have already begun to test the carbon labeling on most of their products.
