Do carbon footprint labels cause more harm than good?
“kittw04,” Designer

With more environmental concerns today, more companies are preprinting the carbon footprint of a product on the consumer package to show consumers how much CO2 is emitted. I am just curious whether this might create more environmental impacts due to the package printing and production processes, as the amount of CO2 emitted from the same product would vary depending on how far and by what methods the products are shipped. So the footprint could be different from place to place. This would cause more printing plates for one product, and suppliers may have to split packaging production runs if the products are shipped to various countries because of different carbon footprint figures. Please advise if there are sustainable guidelines on communicating carbon footprints.
