Under the global trend of carbon reduction, The Environmental Protection Administration of the Republic of China on Taiwan (EPA, ROC(Taiwan)) has operated product carbon label scheme from 2010. With calculating the product carbon footprint, EPA, ROC(Taiwan) hopes the companies can increase their ability to calculate and disclose carbon footprint and to find the opportunity of carbon reduction and eco-design. Therefore, EPA, ROC(Taiwan) has promoted product carbon-reduction label from 2014, and at the same time Taiwan is 4th country to promote carbon-reduction label. Along with the development of carbon label scheme, EPA, ROC(Taiwan) has constructed Product Carbon Footprint Information Platform in 2012. We hope the platform can be the important communication tools for government and industry to achieve carbon reduction targets, to declare its corporate social responsibility and to market green product to the public. This year, we develop the new task based on the basis of “The service of developing carbon information disclosure and carbon label application cloud system(2021)”, the aim of this project is to keep constructing and updating local raw material and energy’s carbon emission factor with Taiwanese companies, to manage and promote the function of Product Carbon Footprint information Platform (including the function of calculation, database, data quality assessment, critical review, carbon label application and so on).To achieve the aim, there are five points as follows: (1) accept applications for carbon footprint labels and carbon footprint reduction labels, and conduct product inspections, (2) in response to the inclusion of the product carbon footprint labeling system into the draft amendments to the Greenhouse Gas Reduction and Management Law, and formulate draft regulations for relevant regulations, (3) continue build a local carbon footprint emission factor and maintenance management product carbon footprint information website, and (4) promote carbon footprint labels and organize publicity activities.
