Eco Label

Today, the healthy and safe survival of us, especially humans, and all other living things depends on the protection and maintenance of the natural ecosystem. Otherwise, any damage to the ecosystem may cause the resources of this system to be depleted, threaten health and make the environment uninhabitable. This means an increasingly serious threat to the health of all living things, especially humans.

As Aşan Danışmanlık, we prepare you for compliance with this standard you need in a short time. For this reason, some studies are carried out for the purpose of preventing, eliminating or reducing these negativities. One of these is the concept of Eco label. So, what is an eco label and what does it do? Let´s take a look together.

Eco label, also known as environmental label, is a system originally developed by the Council of the European Union in areas such as food, medicine and medical products. The product range for this system, which was created and turned into a regulation in 1992, is gradually increasing. This system, which is implemented by the Ministry of Environment and Urbanization in our country, has begun to be rapidly widespread since 2018. The eco label, which was initially given to 8 companies and 15 products, is becoming increasingly common today.

Ecolabels are signs that indicate that a product has a low environmental footprint throughout its life cycle. Having this label or logo on a product shows that that product is environmentally compatible in all processes, from raw material supply to the product delivered to the end user. By producing eco-labeled products, companies can declare to their stakeholders that they adhere to environmental sustainability principles. Users can also show responsible consumption awareness by turning to these products instead of standard products.

Eco label can be issued for many different products. It is possible to produce products with eco labels in many industries, from cleaning to food, from furniture to electronics, from textiles to paper. Labeling requirements may vary for each product. But the main point is that the negative effects of the product on the environment are low. This means meeting criteria such as energy efficiency, low water and carbon footprint, recyclability, and compliance with environmental regulations.

Manufacturers and sellers of products in the EU ecolabel category can apply to receive this label. There is no obligation to operate within the borders of the European Union. Companies located outside the EU can also apply for an eco-label. The steps to follow for this are as follows:

-Manufacturers, sellers, service providers, retailers or importers of products within the scope of Ecolabel apply to the competent authorities in the EU to obtain a label.
-The competent authority carries out some studies to verify that the product complies with eco-label requirements. Examination of declared information and documents, product tests and analyses, inspection and verification activities are carried out.
-A contract is signed between the applicant business and the relevant authorized institution.
-The competent authority sends this contract to the EU commission.
-After the application is approved by the commission, the product´s compliance with eco-label requirements is recorded.
    
Why is Eco-Label Important?

Eco-labels are a very important part of companies´ corporate sustainability efforts. Because, in the context of environmental sustainability, producing and selling products that have a low impact on the environment is one of the most important responsibilities of companies. In this way, a brand image with high environmental responsibility can be created in the market; In this way, more customers can be reached and the attention of more investors can be attracted.
Today, there are many different ecolabel applications other than the EU ecolabel. Obtaining an EU ecolabel also makes obtaining labels easier. Since the scope of this label is quite wide and its suitability is approved by reputable organizations, it is quick and easy for companies to obtain other labels when necessary.

Ecolabels reduce the costs of the business directly or indirectly. For example, low resource use (energy, water, time, labor, etc.) is one of the most important requirements of ecoethics. This significantly reduces the product costs of the business. In addition, since it requires the establishment of a waste management system, companies can also comply with environmental laws on this subject.
The pressure on companies to produce responsible products is increasing day by day. Because global environmental problems force all institutions to take responsibility on this issue. For this purpose, many standards are published and legal regulations are made. Obtaining an eco-label is a correct response to this pressure.


Since the EU ecolabel covers the entire European Union and Norway, Luxembourg and Iceland, companies can access the entire European market with this label. This enables companies to sell more products and increases their revenues. Additionally, there are many incentives for environmentally friendly products in the EU and in our country. Companies also have the chance to benefit from these incentives by purchasing an ecolabel.
