The Indian government has launched the Ecomark program which allows environmental-friendly products to be labeled. A product to be conferred Ecomark should satisfy the condition that it has a low environmental impact during manufacture and/or usage. The Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) is in charge of implementing the scheme. The BIS awards the Ecomark certification to products that meet the set of eco-friendly standards.
Ecomark is provided with environmentally friendly products. An Ecomark product ensures that it causes little harm to people and the environment. Under the Ecomark scheme, the Government of India has notified products like soaps and detergents, food items, paper, lubricating oils, architectural paints, and powder coatings, packaging materials/package, batteries, food additives, electrical and electronic goods, wood substitutes, cosmetics, aerosols and propellants, textiles, plastic products, fire-extinguisher, leather, and coir and coir products to be given Ecomark.
Getting Ecomark certificate is voluntary. However, ordinary citizens and concerned industrial sectors should apply for this to participate in the greater good of the environment.
Objectives of Ecomark
The Ecomark scheme is run on a nationwide level and provides certification and labeling for household and other consumer products that meet specific environmental criteria as well as quality requirements outlined in applicable Indian Standards.
