Abstract:
Increase in globally averaged tcmpirutu.cs since the mid -10tl. century is very likely due to the
observed increase in anthropogenic green house gases. mainly Carbon Dioxide concentrations in the
atmosphere.
At the Copenhagen convention held in 1995. to take international measures to minimize global
warming. there were debates between countries. some blaming industrialized countries for releasing
huge amounts of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. making it unsuitable for living. Release of C02
occurs not only during the manufacture of a product: but also during its use and disposal. which is
taking place mostly in a different country.
Nippon Nature Foams Company of Sri Lanka introduced certain natural rubber latex based products
that has resulted in greater C02absorption during latex production while in the field than what was
emitted during production and disposal of the product, indicated by a number under the new
Carbon Negative products scheme. Hence, the day environment concerned people all over the
world go for carbon negative products is not far away. Even the Copenhagen conventions to be held
in future may amplify on sustainable consumption and production and not purely on production of
an article.
