1. Regulatory pillar: ensure a long-term goal
2. Support to private companies’ initiatives since 2008:prove that the environmental labelling is possible, showing concrete examples and experiences
3. ADEME-AFNOR platform (experts and normalization): share costs and practices / ways of doing, ensure environmental assessment reliability and comparisons
In food sector :* WG1 of platform ADEME-AFNOR : development of a guidance for
environmental assessment in food, petfood and beverage sector (framework: BPX-30-323)
* AGRIBALYSE project (leaders: ADEME; agric. technical and research centers): development of a public database with LCI and LCA for agricultural products (boundary: from cradle to the farm gate)
