  • Review of ecolabels [Elektronski vir] : impact on greening the supply chains
    Šinko, Simona, 1993- ...
    Paper focuses on environmental labels which indicates product's environmental performance. Products that have earned ecolabel, meet certain criteria regarding energy consumption, water pollution, use ... of hazardous materials etc. and this is an indication to consumers to choose products which cause less environmental impacts. In the modern world, environmental awareness is increasing but information on environmental performance of products are very limited. This means that objective of environmental labeling should be informing people about importance of ecolabels, learning them about the differences between less and more eco-friendly products as well as to encourage them to choose environmentally better alternative. Environmental labels could be divided on voluntary and mandatory labels. Main subject of the research is to study well known ecolabels divided in different groups and cross compare them according to implementation criteria. It was found that type I labels are the most established and are showing consumers simple and accurate guidance of environmental performance. In European Union the most accepted is EU Ecolabel, indicating products that meet strict environmental criteria and cover a wide range of product groups however it is still not widely used.
