Environmental Label
Environmental Labels
Three types of environmental labels to indicate environmentally-friendly products have been established or are currently under discussion by the ISO. The Indian Barcode has been actively promoting the use of these labels to help our customers, who are concerned with environmental conservation.
The standards for environmentally-friendly products for
Type I
label certification. Indian Barcode Corporation has been actively working on certification of their products for these environmental labels.
Type II
labels indicate an environmental claim made by the manufacturer themselves, without evaluation by a third party. Indian Barcode Corporation has set up company standards on recyclable designs, reuse rate for parts, recovery system, resource recovery, and environmental safety. Products that meet these standards carry a Indian Barcode Corporation Recycle Label when shipped from the factory.
Type III
labels have no standards to meet. Instead, the users themselves evaluate the levels of the environmental impact of the product based on quantitative data from an LCA (Life Cycle Assessment). The Indian Barcode acquires third-party certification on the quantitative data we publish in order to improve their transparency and credibility.
