According to estimates, the world's population is doubling every 35 per year. With this increase in population, consumption and consequently decrease in natural resources and pollution formation are increasing. Today, environmental problems such as global climate changes, ozone depletion, acid rain, toxic residues, air and water pollution are more clearly felt. The ecosystem of our world is having difficulty in meeting the demands. Great efforts are being made to prevent this bad trend, especially in the European Union countries. Both consumers and manufacturers are expected to pay more attention to human health and the protection of nature. As a result of these efforts, a large number of ecological product labels designed in the European Union countries have been designed.
There are generally two thematic approaches in ecological label systems. Either production systems are evaluated or products are evaluated. In labels based on production systems, first of all, environmentally friendly production is evaluated, but the product is also evaluated. With the Eco-Label system put into practice by the European Union in 1992, it was developed by our organization in our country. Ekomark © Standard also shows an approach in this direction.
Production ecology is a versatile, power controllable and complex system. The protection of the environment during production and proving that this is done in a system has become a necessity. Ekomark © Tag, Eco-Label and all similar ecological labels guarantee that the products do not contain harmful substances and that they are produced with care to protect nature.
ecological labels The aim of the system is to ensure that consumers receive healthy products and to maintain the ecological balance of the world. The Ekomark © Tag serves this purpose.
There are many ecological product labels developed in European Union countries and generally applied in their own countries and sometimes accepted in other countries. These include the Blue Angel label in Germany, the ECO Quality Symbol in the Netherlands, and the Nordic Swan Label in Sweden, Norway, Iceland and Finland. Of these, the Blue Angel Label has been valid since 1978 and has been developed for many products other than food and medicine.
