Environmental Labels

Environmental labels are certifications or symbols on products that indicate they meet certain sustainability or eco-friendly standards. They help consumers identify items that are better for the environment, such as those made with fewer pollutants, using sustainable resources, or having a lower carbon footprint. These labels are awarded by independent organizations after verifying the product's environmental impact, enabling informed purchasing decisions that support eco-conscious practices. Examples include the ENERGY STAR, USDA Organic, and Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) labels. They promote responsible consumption and encourage companies to adopt more sustainable production methods.
