The goal is fine, but I want to see the actual carbon accounting standards they are using. If they are just swapping a few ingredients without a full life cycle assessment, the impact is negligible.
Agreed. The real cost is usually in the processing and transport. I wonder if these low carbon ingredients actually require different storage or handling at the plant level.
Dow and Univar are trying to green up beauty supply chains. It is a start, but the article is light on the specific percentage of emissions they expect to cut.
