Abstract: Abstract: Carbon footprint labels (CFL) of products inform customers about the amount of CO2 released during the product life cycle. The CFL may favor products with lower emissions and release the ecological impact in the future. However, the CFL calculating standard is still not recognized. The issues of the CFL calculation from the viewpoint of engineering and business management are then discussed in this paper. These two viewpoints of CFL not only present different amount of CO2 during the product life cycle but also the different difficulty in implementation of CFL in industry.
