GreenTag Certified

GreenTag Certified logo

Green Tag® is a third party, green product rating and certification system, underpinned by rigorous scientific and Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) processes. Its advanced, robust LCA certification methodology developed exclusively by ecospecifier, is a world first. GreenTag assesses products against worst case business as usual products in the same functional category and with the same functional purpose, based on the following impacts / benefits:

  • building design synergy,
  • greenhouse emission point,
  • human health & eco-toxicity,
  • life cycle impact,
  • biodiversity and resource consumption
  • corporate social responsibility

The Green Tag® ecolabel rating positions a product within the top end of the green product market enabling manufacturers to be able for the first time to fully communicate the work they have undertaken to improve the ecological and health benefits of their products.
