EcoLogo is one of North America's most widely recognized and respected certification of environmental leadership.

By setting standards and certifying products in more than 120 categories, EcoLogo helps you identify, trust, buy, and sell environmentally preferable (“green”) goods and services. Within the program, you’ll find more than 7,000 EcoLogo-certified products from hundreds of manufacturers.

The EcoLogoM Program is a Type I eco-label, as defined by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in its standard - "Environmental Labeling" (ISO 14024). This means, the Program compares products / services with others in the same category, develops rigorous and scientifically relevant criteria, and awards the EcoLogoM to those that are environmentally preferable throughout their entire whole life a thorough evaluation and auditing process.

EcoLogoM certification criteria documents (CCDs) are developed in an open, public and transparent process, with a broad base of stakeholder participation including user groups (e.g. procurement associations, institutional purchasers and consumer protection organizations), product producers (e.g. industry members and associations), government / regulators, general science-based representatives (e.g. academics, life cycle experts and other scientists), environmental non-governmental organizations (ENGOs), and other environmental advocates. The criteria address multiple environmental attributes related to human health and environmental considerations throughout the life cycle of the product. Currently, there are 122 Certification Criteria Documents addressing over 250 product types.
