Increasing environmental awareness has led to consumers becoming more concerned with the adverse impacts of industrial pollution on the environment and their health. These concerns are not limited only to manufacturing processes and emissions, but also to the environmental impacts of products, during use and after disposal. Pressures on industry to adopt more environmentally benign chemicals and manufacturing processes have led today to an increased demand for ‘eco-friendly’ products
Eco-labelling is a way to certify such eco-friendly products. Eco-labelling is a voluntary method of environmental performance certification and labelling that is practiced around the world. Unfortunately, eco-labelling is often considered as an imposition, a procedural requirement or even just a rhetoric
Eco-labelling is one of the key services offered by Environmental Management Centre. This presentation by Mahazareen Dastur at EMC provides a short introduction to Eco-labelling and introduces EMC's approach that integrates eco-labelling with cleaner production opportunity assessments.
