eco label
Sustainable product marking
An eco label is a certification mark indicating that a product or service meets certain environmental standards.
These labels help consumers identify goods produced with reduced ecological impact—organic food, energy-efficient appliances, sustainably harvested wood.
Look for the eco label when buying seafood.
Different eco labels certify different criteria, from carbon footprint to biodegradability.
