    Only through CarboNZero product certification (0.75) or CEMARS product certification (0.25), each being independent verification and certification that the product's carbon footprint is calculated to PAS 2050:2011. CarboNZero also requires: measures to manage, reduce and mitigate the product's net GHG emissions to zero; a commitment to an emissions management and reduction plan; and offsetting of remaining unavoidable emissions with carbon credits that Homestar calls “verified”. CEMARS also requires: lifecycle GHG emissions of the product measured; and a commitment to manage and reduce them under an emissions management and reduction plan. Points apply only where at least 50% of the material category content is reused, eco-preferred or responsibly sourced. Evidence: product data sheet or certificate demonstrating “compliance” (Homestar’s word). Where a product qualifies for several methods, the one with the most points is selected.
