On August 10, 2019, four group standards, including "Electrical and Electronic Products Carbon Footprint Assessment Part 2: Television", "Electrical and Electronic Products Carbon Footprint Assessment Part 3: Microcomputer", "Electrical and Electronic Products Carbon Footprint Assessment Part 4: Mobile Communication Handset", "Carbon Label Identification", were issued in Conference. Carbonstop participated the establishment of these four group standards.

Luhui Yan, the founder of Carbonstop, introduced the carbon label of electrical and electronic products.

On August 10, 2019, the 2nd International Conference on Carbon Labels for Electrical and Electronic Products was co-sponsored by China Electronic Energy-savung Technology Technology Association, the Development Promotion Center for Small and Medium-sized Enterprises of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the Low Carbon Economic Professional Committee, China Carbon Label Industry Innovation Alliance and Shenzhen Zhongdian Zhigu Operating Co., Ltd. The first International Forum on Carbon Labels for Products in Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macau Greater Bay Area was held in Difu Building of Shenzhen Zhongdian. The conference supported by various institute and corporations.

What is "carbon label"?

To mitigate impacts of climate change, reduce GHG emissions and promote low-carbon technologies, the GHG emissions emitted by the products in the life cycle are marked on the product label with a quantitative index to inform consumers of the carbon emission of the products. The label is called "carbon label."

Why "carbon label" is essential？

In recent years, global climate became unstable, and increased GHG emission pose threat to human beings and environmental safety.It is important to reduce carbon emissions. In this context, the concept of “carbon footprint” appeared. Governments and related agencies have carried out research on carbon footprint assessment methods and launched “carbon labels” based on carbon footprint.

China's "carbon label" assessment work

In order to establish a sound product carbon label certification evaluation system, guide Chinese enterprises to low-carbon transformation and upgrade and promote green trade, the China Electronics Energy-saving Technology Association Low Carbon Economy Professional Committee and related industry-university research and development units started to develop the carbon footprint of electrical and electronic products in 2018.  "General guideline for electrical and electronic products carbon footprint assessment", "Carbon Footprint Evaluation of LED Road Lighting Products"and more than 10 group standards. On November 15, 2018, the “General guideline for electrical and electronic products carbon footprint assessment” and “Specifications for Carbon Footprint Evaluation of LED Road Lighting Products” were officially released. The release of group standards will help China to promote the transformation of green consumption and production methods and improve green competitiveness. At the same time, the carbon label system and the green supply chain can effectively reduce energy consumption indicators and establish a comprehensive and comprehensive standard system.
