Product Environmental Footprint
Understanding and measuring the environmental impact of products can be a big challenge for consumers and producers due to numerous labels. To address this, the European Commission proposed to develop a standardized approach for measuring and communicating environmental performance throughout the life cycle - the Product Environmental Footprint (PEF) method. Since 2015 Blonk has been involved intensively in the EU PEF developments.
