Instead of nutrients, the label on the building product will list what’s in it, and how much embodied carbon that represents.
The label will also provide a “global warming number” that gives the product’s total carbon footprint
And in the U.S., from CE Pro magazine:
Architecture 2030, a non-profit, non-partisan and independent organization established in 2002 in response to the climate change, is challenging the architecture, design and building communities to design structures that cut fossil fuel usage to zero by 2030.
As part of the challenge, group wants all products to cut their carbon footprint by 50 percent, covering the greenhouse gas emissions of a product from the raw resource extraction, manufacturing, transportation, construction, usage, and end-of-life stage.
