Eco-label Certification System (ECS) in Korea

As Korean consumers are becoming aware of the seriousness of environmental degradation, a growing number of Korean consumers are beginning to consider eco-friendliness as an important factor in purchasing products, alongside prices, quality and designs. The government of Korea thus introduced an Environmental labelling for consumers to identify and select eco-friendly products and encourage business to develop and produce such products by visualizing information on their eco-friendliness. This paper, Korea Environmental Policy Bulletin: Eco-label Certification System (ECS) in Korea introduces Korean Eco-label Certification System and its standards.
