随着全球对气候变化的关注日益加深,产品碳足迹这一概念逐渐成为公众和企业的焦点。碳足迹是指产品在原料采集、制造、运输、销售、使用、废弃及回收等全生命周期阶段所产生的温室气体排放量和清除量之和,以二氧化碳当量(CO2eq)为单位进行量化与报告。
在国际标准化组织(ISO)发布的相关标准中,对产品碳足迹的定义为我们提供了一个科学的量化工具,使我们能够更准确地了解和评估产品对环境的影响。这对于企业来说,有助于其在产品设计和生产过程中寻找减排潜力,从而降低产品的整体碳足迹。同时,对于消费者来说,了解产品的碳足迹有助于他们做出更环保的消费选择。
我国政府高度重视碳排放问题,积极推动企业进行碳排放核算和减排。近年来,我国在碳足迹研究和管理方面已取得显著进展,但仍需进一步加强国际合作,推动碳足迹标准的国际统一,以更好地应对全球气候变化挑战。

With growing global concern over climate change, the concept of product carbon footprint has increasingly become a focus for the public and businesses. Carbon footprint refers to the total amount of greenhouse gas emissions and removals throughout the product’s life cycle, including raw material extraction, manufacturing, transportation, sales, use, disposal, and recycling, measured in carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2eq).
The definition of product carbon footprint provided by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) offers a scientific quantification tool that allows us to understand and assess the environmental impact of products more accurately. For businesses, this helps identify potential emission reduction opportunities in product design and production, thus lowering the overall carbon footprint of the product. For consumers, understanding the carbon footprint of products helps them make more environmentally friendly consumption choices.
The Chinese government attach great importance to carbon emissions, promoting corporate carbon accounting and reduction. In recent years, significant progress has been made in China in the research and management of carbon footprints. However, further international cooperation is needed to promote the international harmonization of carbon footprint standards and better address global climate change challenges.
