Tesco carbon footprints milk

packagingnews.co.uk: "Tesco milk packs are to feature a carbon label as the retailer moves closer to its target of footprinting 500 products by the end of the year.

The full-fat, semi-skimmed and skimmed milk ranges will now feature their carbon footprint as part of the retailers' plans to footprint its staple products.

Packaging is counted as part of the processing stage of milk's lifecycle. The processing stage accounts for 9.2% of the total carbon footprint for skimmed milk, rising to 9.7% for whole milk."
