What is "Green Label"

Thai Green Label Scheme

The Thai Green Label Scheme was initiated by the Thailand Business Council for Sustainable Development (TBCSD) in October 1993. It was formally launched in August 1994 by The Thailand Environment Institute (TEI) and Thai Industrial Standards Institute (TISI).

Green Label (Eco-Label)

The Green Label is an environmental certification logo awarded to specific products which have less detrimental impact on the environment in comparison with other products serving the same function.

The Thai Green Label Scheme applies to all products and services, but not foods, beverage, and pharmaceuticals. Products or services which meet the Thai Green Label criteria may carry the Thai Green Label. Participation in the scheme is voluntary.

Thai Green Labeling Objectives

The scheme is developed to promote the concept of resource conservation, pollution reduction, and waste management. The purposes of awarding the green label are:

• To provide reliable information and guide customers in their choice of products.
• To create an opportunity for consumers to make an environmentally conscious decision, thus creating market incentives for manufacturers to develop and supply more environmentally sound products.
• To reduce environmental impact which may occur during the manufacturing, utilization, consumption and disposal phases of product.
