In 1991, Government of India launched its first eco-label, known as ‘Eco-mark’ through Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) that follows a cradle-to-grave approach (from raw material extraction, to manufacturing, and to disposal) and advocates pro-active and promotional roles of the consumers, the industry, and the government at one platform to address environmental protection issues and to implement environmental protection strategy. The ECO Logo along with ISI Mark on a product indicates that the product meets certain Environmental criteria along with the Quality requirements as specified in the relevant Indian Standard.
The Government of India has notified the final criteria for the following 17 product categories:
Beverages, Infant Foods, Processed Fruits and Vegetables Products
