In Taiwan, in order to mitigate the environmental impacts of the related carbon emission issues, the central government has established the guideline for carbon footprint calculation and the carbon labeling scheme. Chasing green has become an international trend especially for consumer products.
Enterprises have gradually participated in the carbon footprint of product (CFP) inventory and applied for the carbon labels to disclose GHG emissions associated with product manufacturing to the stakeholders. The Taiwan carbon labeling scheme was established by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in 2010. Out of the 103 products issued with the carbon labels, 41 products are beverages and amongst the beverages, 22 are tea drinks. Therefore, this study selected a tea product as a case study.
