Study critically reviewed by Niels Jungbluth
The European Digital Payments Industry Alliance (EDPIA) published the Oxford Economics white paper “The environmental impact of digital over cash payments in Europe.”
With the study, EDPIA wants to contribute to and engage in the public debate on how the payment value chain can take actively part in achieving a low carbon economy and showcase which areas are likely to deliver the best decarbonization potentials.
Oxford Economics has based the white paper on two Life Cycle Assessments (LCAs) to measure the environmental impact of both cash and digital payments at point of sale in 2022 in three Eurozone countries that each have a different digital payment maturity level – Finland, Germany, and Italy.
The study has been critically reviewed by a panel led by Niels Jungbluth.
