eco-label
Sustainability certification mark
An eco-label is a certification mark indicating that a product meets certain environmental standards—for sustainability, recyclability, or reduced harm to ecosystems.
Manufacturers seek eco-labels to appeal to environmentally conscious consumers: Look for the eco-label when buying cleaning products.
The term covers both official certifications and vaguer marketing claims.
