Imagine a world where you have full visibility over the environmental footprint of products you can buy. It would provide you with the freedom to buy \u2018green\u2019 products. But this would only work if you can rely on the quality of the information: you need to know that such information can be trusted.<\/p>\n

PEF methodology: Make it easy to recognize environmentally friendly products<\/h2>\n

This is why the PEF (Product Environmental Footprint)<\/a> methodology is underway, fueled by the European Union and its steering committees.<\/p>\n

The PEF method provides a new and improved method for measuring the environmental performance of any good or service throughout its life cycle. The aim is to make it easier for consumers to recognize how environmentally friendly a product, a service or a company is.<\/p>\n

PEF thereby improves the validity and comparability of the environmental performance evaluation compared to existing methods. Ultimately, such a robust instrument will drive the EU\u2019s environmental policies to strengthen the market for green alternatives.<\/p>\n
