| Product labelling for country of origin to ensure traceability, for quality and safety standards, organic production, and for environmental standards. Includes types of labelling programs, certification schemes, and trade and marketing issues. Ecolabelling (or environmental labelling) is a guide for consumers to choose products and services that cause less damage to the environment. Ecolabelling makes a positive statement that identifies products and services as less harmful to the environment than similar products or services used for a specific function. Ecolabelling is fundamentally different from the setting of minimum product standards or requirements. The key difference is that ecolabelling is intended to reward environmental leadership. |
