About Environmental Labels
An environmental label is a mark that indicates how a company, product, or service cares for and contributes to the environment. Environmental labels appear on products, packaging, technical reports, and advertisements and serve as an indicator for purchasers to engage in environmentally conscious consumption activities.
ISO (International Organization for Standardization) has established standards for three types of environmental labels.
Type I (ISO 14024) : Third-party certified environmental labels
These standards consider the life cycle of products and services operated by a third-party implementation organization. The third-party implementation organization examines and approves the use of the mark in response to an application from a business.
Type II (ISO 14021) : Environmental labels based on self-declaration by businesses
It is a self-declaration by a business to promote the environmental quality of its products, services, and systems to the market, and does not involve judgment by a third party. Specifically, it is introduced through product labels, instruction manuals, promotional materials, and sustainability reports.
Type III (ISO 14025) : Quantitative data on environmental impact of products
Based on the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) method, this report presents quantitative data on the environmental impact of products. It is intended to be useful for green purchasing and green procurement, and to motivate companies to reduce their environmental impact by understanding the quantitative data.
