How the label works?

Biocode’s label allows consumers, clients, business partners, and other stakeholders to identify which companies are truly ambitious in reducing their products’ life-cycle emissions.

  • Chartpie
    The label shows a carbon footprint classification from A to E.

The criteria for gaining the label is simple: start calculating your product’s carbon footprint with Biocode, get a value and compare it within the suitable product category. We will issue the correct badge when the results are confirmed.

  • Tags
    The categorisation contains 26 different product categories.

The label can be used as a link to Biocode’s online profile, as a label in product packaging, for marketing and communication needs, and in corporate sustainability reports, to name a few.
