The French Congress recently passed a “Climate Bill Implementation Plan (Projet De Loi Sur Le Climat)”, formulating special environmental protection measures for the five major industries of consumption, production and employment, travel, housing and food, in order to reach the EU members The country has previously set environmental protection goals: by 2030, greenhouse gas emissions in the EU will be reduced by at least 55%.
For the consumer industry, Congress believes that good consumption habits are the key to improving environmental impact. In order to allow consumers to better understand the impact of their purchasing behavior on the environment, Congress It was decided to create an “environmental label” and make it mandatory for all suppliers of consumer goods to add this label to their products, especially clothing suppliers.
The “Environmental Label” will be marked with the “Environmental Rating” of the product, and the rating range is in alphabetical order from A to E (see the picture below) , among which, A means that the product has no negative impact on the environment, and E means that the product has a great negative impact on the environment. In order to allow consumers to see the rating information more intuitively, the five letters A to E are also set with deep colors. Five different colors: green, light green, yellow, orange and red.
The “Environmental Score” system is developed by the French Environment and Energy Administration (l’Agence française de l’environnement et de la maîtrise de l’énergie (“ADEME” for short), the Authority will evaluate the entire life cycle of the product and implement a 100-point scoring standard.
It is reported that the “Climate Bill Implementation Plan” was first submitted to the National Assembly by Barbara Pompili, the French Minister of Ecological Transition, in February this year. On July 27, the plan received more than 60 votes. Members of Congress voted in support. Currently, “environmental scoring” and “environmental labeling” are in the trial phase. </p
