Green Certification
About Green Certification
The word “Green” refers to the products with low environmental impacts, meaning they are environmentally friendly throughout their life cycle. Green product certification is concerned about the organization’s health as well as the customer’s health and well-being. It ensures that the products are free from toxic and hazardous substances. Any product that is manufactured or processed organically or uses natural resources in their entire manufacturing cycle without any hazardous substances is considered to be GREEN.
Green certification encourages the organization to carry out life cycle analysis for its products. Also, it helps implement Green measures based on the impact analysis. Moreover, Green Certification helps the organization to minimize waste generation and safer disposal of waste to help improve the environment.
Purpose of Green Certification
Green certification directs manufacturers to advertise their products as green and ecologically beneficial. Green certification aids in the conservation of energy, water, forest products, and other natural resources, lowering costs associated with product marketing, production, and distribution. It assures that manufacturers are employing effective techniques to portray their products as environmentally friendly and green. Customers will have more trust in your brand if you obtain green certification.
A green product is one that has as little impact on the environment as possible throughout its life cycle, from raw material extraction and processing through use and disposal. The main purpose of Green Product Certification is to assess the entire framework and suggest the way forward for attaining environmental excellence.
