The UK-based Carbon Trust has announced that five food and drinks companies will make up a third wave of new partners to try a new standard for assessing carbon emissions.
The draft Publicly Available Specification (PAS) 2050, designed to assess the lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions of goods and services, is being developed by the Carbon Trust, DEFRA, BSI British Standards and CCFRA (Campden Chorleywood Food Research Association).
The aim of the current trial is to provide information to refine and finalize the BSI PAS 2050 and provide DEFRA with interim indicators of the relative merits of different potential food supply systems. The PAS is being developed with a view to being applicable internationally.
