The Diversity of Environmental Labels\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n

There are many different labels and logos (Ecolabel<\/a>, Nature & Progr\u00e8s<\/a>, Nordic Swan<\/a>\u2026).<\/p>\n

ADEME<\/a> was looking to construct an objective evaluation of the relevance of those labels and logos in order to provide educational information to the general public<\/p>\n

RDC Environment has conducted this assessment between 2018 and 2020.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n

An Environmental Assessment\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n
\n
\n

Firstly, RDC Environment has been selecting the environmental labels that were to be reviewed, after validating that they do help consumers identify\u00a0more sustainable products.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Secondly, in order to evaluate the relevance of these labels, RDC Environment has conducted a two-step analysis:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Analysis of the structural reliability of the environmental label<\/strong>The label\u2019s structure itself has been analysed to verify whether its organization is rigorous and well-defined;<\/li>\n
  2. Analysis of the environmental reliability of the label<\/strong>RDC Environment has identified the most significant environmental impacts and the most critical life cycle phases related to each product category. Afterwards, RDC assessed how effectively labels reduce the most significant environmental impacts at each stage of the life cycle. Found out more about our LCA services here<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    An Educational Communication for the General Public\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n

    This analysis allows ADEME to\u00a0recommend 100 labels<\/strong>\u00a0related to\u00a012 categories of everyday products<\/strong>: food, maintenance and cleaning, hygiene and beauty, clothing and footwear, furniture, bedding, home textiles, DIY and decoration, stationery and supplies, multimedia, games and toys and accommodation.<\/p>\n

    A website accessible to the general public<\/a> gathers the information of RDC Environment and the recommendations of the ADEME, along with sheets specific to product families.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
