3. Question
Consider the following statements regarding ‘Eco Mark’ label:
- It is a voluntary labelling scheme for easily identifying environment friendly products.
- It is administered by the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS).
Which of the above statements is/are correct?
Correct
Solution: c)
Eco-mark is a voluntary labelling scheme for easily identifying environment friendly products. The Eco-mark scheme defines as an environmentally friendly product, any product which is made, used or disposed of in a way that significantly reduces the harm it would otherwise cause the environment.
The scheme is one of India’s earliest efforts in environmental standards, launched in 1991, even before the 1992 Rio Summit in which India participated. The scheme was launched by the Ministry of Environment and Forests, and is administered by the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS), which also administers the Indian Standards Institute (ISI) mark quality label, a requirement for any product to gain the Eco-mark label.
