UK Retailer Tesco will mention the emission of CO2 on their milk packaging

UK Retailer Tesco will mention the emission of CO2 on their milk packaging, the aim of Tesco is to increase it to up to 500 products before the end of the year.

Tesco explains that, independent, researches show that over 50% of the population knows what the meaning of carbon footprint is. One year ago just 32% of the population knew the meaning of carbon footprint. Over 50% of the clients of Tesco say that they take the effect on the environment of the products into account.

The largest amount of emission of CO2 for milks happens at the farms. Tesco works together with these farms to reduce this amount, therefor they set up the groups: Tesco Sustainable Dairy Group and Dairy Centre of Excellence. These groups are responsable for the better quality of animal food and the use of renewable energy sources.
