Zerofootprint calculates a product's GHG emissions following the methodology outlined in PAS2050, a comprehensive guide for calculating the life cycle greenhouse gas emissions of products and services developed by the British Standards Institution.

Zerofootprint's findings, we are happy to report, were very positive! In fact, the report states:

• TAB folders produce only a minimal amount of carbon per folder as the folders are manufactured using 100% recycled paper and generate an insignificant amount of waste per folder
  
  
• Through its product material selection and choosing to calculate the carbon impacts of their folders, TAB has proven its commitment to environmental stewardship and is well positioned to be a leader among carbon conscious companies
