Seminar on maintaining the competitiveness of Polish agriculture and agri-food processing in the context of carbon footprint labeling of products

The Polish Biomethane Association and the Polish Association of Agricultural Biogas Producers are organizing a seminar on October 16, 2024, on the topic: “Maintaining the competitiveness of Polish agriculture and agri-food processing in the context of carbon footprint labeling of products".

Some manufacturers see this system as an opportunity to highlight their competitiveness. While the EU has not yet introduced mandatory labels, such initiatives are under consideration, and some countries are testing labels such as the UK's “Carbon Trust” and France's “Étiquette Environnementale,” which assess the entire life cycle of a product.

For Polish food producers and exporters, especially in the context of steadily growing exports, the carbon footprint need not be a problem.

Poland, with less use of fertilizers than, for example, the Netherlands or Germany, may see these regulations as an opportunity to strengthen its position in the market. We still have a small biogas and biomethane production sector, which can significantly affect the size of the carbon footprint of our agri-food products. Poland's sustainable production may outpace the competition, which, combined with the growing demand for organic products, provides an opportunity for further export growth.

Discussion topics include how carbon footprint labeling can become an opportunity to increase the competitiveness of Polish products.

Participation in the seminar is free of charge.
