What does a carbon label say?
We've introduced carbon labels on some of our products to make it much easier for you to compare the environmental impact of what you buy, just like you can do with nutritional information. There are already over 100 products with carbon labels including milk, orange juice, washing detergents, potatoes, lightbulbs and toilet tissue - and that number is climbing all the time.
