EDA position on potential policy applications of the Product Environmental Footprint (PEF) methodology

EDA supports the use of a common method for measuring and communicating environmental performance. The PEF method as it stands now is a good methodology for improvement calculation over time and internal assessment, as well as business-level relationships. It could be used for voluntary off-pack information to stakeholders. It is not ready to allow comparability between ptroducts, nor on-pack labelling.
