CRC will impact on consumer habits, says carbon expert
In addition to reduction and recycling, it would also be great if consumer good suppliers also considered reuse in complement.
What would be interesting is how a component (and, by association, it's material) designated as reused would be viewed under this commitment.
Just imagine the benefits to not just landfill and consumers' pockets, but also manufacturers' and retailers' allowances, if tonnages destined only for the bin found viable second uses through being designed in for this purpose.

NEWS/GO3 PR - Slashing energy use: Carbon reduction commitment to save businesses £1 billion by 2020
I have some issues with public money blown on high-£ comms efforts vs. doing.
However, this one is out there and looks to have value (even at a hefty 5MB), so I'll share. PR as received, E&EO:
Slashing energy use: Carbon reduction commitment to save businesses £1 billion by 2020
A new guide is published today by the Department of Energy and Climate Change to provide a helping hand to business to prepare for the introduction of the Carbon Reduction Commitment, which will begin in April 2010. The guide establishes who is covered by the scheme and guides the reader step-by-step through what they need to do to take part in the scheme.
The revenue raised from the scheme will be recycled back to participants on the basis of a league table -- so that those who are making most improvements in energy efficiency will be financially rewarded, and will receive recognition for their achievements.
The Government will further the roll out of the Carbon Reduction Commitment by launching a consultation today on the regulations which will form the basis of the initiative. Participating organisations will have to register with the Environment Agency who will administer the scheme.
