Ecoform & ISSA Move Closer to Environmental Label

"Ecoform & ISSA Move Closer to Environmental Label"
ISSA (03/05/2010)

Ecoform and ISSA have made progress toward their goal of developing an information-based environmental label (IBEL). The IBEL will complement existing eco-label programs for chemical cleaners and serve as a uniform platform for product categories lacking eco-label programs. Metrics for six environmental attributes of chemical cleaners -- fragrances, colors and dyes, combustibility, post-consumer packaging content, recyclable packaging content, and bio-based packaging content -- were in place by late February. A work group tasked with creating the individual metrics also has modified a list of possible future metrics, among other things.
