Officials favor a system where labels would list the emissions a product contains, along with a rating, such as A to G. An A rating would mean a &quot;net zero&quot; product. In consultation papers published on Thursday, the government said: &quot;The combination of emissions data and a labeling system could provide an easy way to compare products against the best in class, as well as the raw data needed for more detailed comparisons.&quot; Ministers hope labeling would encourage people to they bought greener products, and this would help reduce emissions through market mechanisms.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Washing machines and fridges will be labelled with their carbon footprint in a bid to promote greener products and reduce carbon emissions.
