Product labeling is used as a tool to promote markets with specific characteristics. Labels provide information on product characteristics that are normally unobservable or difficult to evaluate. Labels, when applied systematically and structurally, are seen as a reliable and credible source of information. In this context, eco labels have emerged as a special type of product labeling that confirms the environmental performance of products and services. In order to certify a product with an eco label, it must be proven that this product can reduce the environmental impact of its production or use by fulfilling certain predefined criteria. In this sense, eco-labeled products are products that have proven to be more sustainable and superior than similar products.
Eco labels are developed by private and public institutions to encourage the consumption of more environmentally friendly products and sustainable production practices.
Hard surface cleaning products are generally a cleaning product group that includes aqueous solutions of special chemicals or compounds that vary according to the level of contamination and the characteristics of the surface being cleaned. Multipurpose cleaning products are generally concentrated surfactants and water softening solutions that increase the behavior of the surfactant in hard water. Typical surfactants are alkylbenzenesulfonates, an anionic detergent, and modified fatty alcohols. A typical water softener is sodium triphosphate.
Many hard surface cleaning products irritate the eyes or throat or cause health problems ranging from headaches to cancer. Some products contain dangerous chemical compounds, including volatile organic compounds.
Products with the ECO LABEL environmental label offer consumers an environmentally friendly alternative to traditional cleaning products and have a lower daily environmental impact. These products are very different from traditional products thanks to the environmental criteria they comply with. The ECO LABEL environmental label guarantees that these products contain limited hazardous substances and use sustainably sourced raw materials, packaging design and recyclability.
Our organization has a strong staff that closely follows the developments in the world in the field of science and technology and constantly improves itself. At the same time, it uses modern test equipment and applies test methods accepted all over the world. In this context, it provides ECO LABEL certification services for hard surface cleaning products to manufacturers.
