Products to be labelled with their carbon footprint

The Government says that it shares the goal of increasing transparency around carbon impact of products.

The Government has agreed not to oppose a Labour Party bill which would see products labelled with their carbon footprint.

Dublin Fingal TD Duncan Smith's National Standards Authority of Ireland (Carbon Footprint Labelling) Bill 2021 would provide the carbon footprint on every product to "end greenwashing and provide consumers with carbon information".
