It is important not only for the product itself but also for its packaging that a product is not dangerous for human health and pays attention to the protection of nature. Producer companies have obligations regarding packaging wastes and must fulfill them.

Packaging is a material that protects the product in the cleanest and most reliable conditions and facilitates the processes such as transportation and storage. There are two important points in terms of packaging. The first is that it is not in direct contact with the product inside. The second important point is that they can be quickly and easily destroyed or recycled when they are thrown away.

In short, the most important function of the package is to protect the products from physical effects such as wetting, impact, deterioration. At the same time, the name of the manufacturer, the product content, production date, expiry date and usage information are provided on the consumers and provides ease of use.

Packaging can be made of a wide variety of materials such as wood, glass, paper, plastic or metal. However, it is important to remember that packaging waste is definitely not garbage. Packaging wastes can be used as secondary raw materials. If we do not pay attention to this, natural resources are destroyed more and more every day.

In our country, the Regulation on Control of Packaging Wastes prohibits the use of non-recyclable materials when producing packaging. It is very important that people are also aware of this. Recently, materials called bioplastics are used for packaging. These are made from renewable raw materials.

Designed by our organization Ekomark © StandardThere is no product group named as direct packagings within the product groups that are based on. For this reason, there are criteria for packaging in each product group. Products and Services Ekomark © Tag When the application for usage permit is applied, it is investigated whether the product meets the necessary requirements not only for the product itself but also for its packaging. For products that meet all criteria by our organization Ekomark © Tag use is granted.

Different information on ecological certification may be required in packaging products. For more information about this and the Ekomark © Tag, you can apply to our company immediately.

The Eco-Label System, which was started to be developed in the European Union countries and then spread all over the world, has been accepted in many countries and many ecological labels have been designed. Although these labels are especially accepted in the country where they are designed, some of them have also been adopted and applied by other countries. Countries where ecological labels are designed have developed their studies based on product groups that concern their own markets.

Today, there are other ecological label applications that are more widely used and accepted than the flower logo of the European Union Eco-Label system. Examples are the Blue Angel Label designed in Germany, the ECO Quality Symbol designed in the Netherlands, and the Nordic Swan Label designed in Scandinavian countries. In our country, it is now designed by our organization. Ekomark © Tag . Ekomark © Standardis a standard developed entirely by our organization and based on product groups directly related to our country's markets.

ecological labelsare given on the basis of criteria determined on the basis of product groups. By considering the production and use stages of products or services, ecological labels are given to products and services that are thought to cause less harm to the environment than similar products and services. As well as the products, the materials and methods used for packaging and packaging these products may also have conditions that harm the environment. If the companies producing these materials and their products comply with the criteria determined by the European Union, our organization gives the company permission to use the Ekomark © Label. The aim of our organization in this direction is to make consumers sensitive to the problems of human health and environmental protection. In this way, consumers are ensured to prefer products that do not harm the environment.

There is no product group especially for the packaging sector among the product groups to which Ekomark © Standard is applied. However, considering the product groups specified for the criteria, it is a requirement that some products be presented to the consumer in packaging. In this regard, packaging and packaging materials within these product groups also have criteria that will not harm human health and environmental conditions.

For manufacturers, eco-packaging or sustainable packaging is not just a matter of material selection. Big brands look at other parameters to produce ecological packaging. This includes, for example, the design of reduced-size packages, or the reduction of the product-to-package ratio or the reduction of product volume. Meanwhile, the shipping designs of the products have also become important. The use of energy sources at the lowest level, the use of soluble materials in nature and the high rate of recycling of the packaging are also important parameters.

By creating ecological packaging, storage space utilization is improved, transport and transportation costs are reduced and the company's carbon footprint is reduced. The carbon footprint is the unit of carbon dioxide in terms of the amount of greenhouse gas produced and the environmental impact of production activities.

Companies using Ekomark © Tag are companies that take care of human health and the protection of the environment, are responsible for the future of the world and strive to make consumers aware of these issues.
