New CO2 label for climate-sparing products in Switzerland
Declaration by Climatop
The foundation «myclimate» and the eco centre Langenbruck have together formed the sponsorship «Climatop» with the aim of making the climate-sparing products easily recognizable for the customer. In addition, the climate burden of products will be measured uniformly throughout Switzerland and over the whole life cycle. This CO2 review of individual products will be done according to internationally recognized data principles of the Swiss Centre for Eco Inventories «ecoinvent«. Products that harm the climate far less than comparable products will be marked by Climatop with a CO2 label.
Climatop experts first reviewed products from the Migros range of detergents. So at the beginning of March, the first two products with a CO2 label will be in its stores. Further products from the Migros assortment and other companies will follow. To make it easier for customers to choose the environmentally friendliest product, only the really climate-relevant products are singled out - the so-called CO2 champions - that show they are more better than an ordinary product of the same product group. The labelling as «CO2 champion» is also open to other interested companies.
