Eco-mark Scheme : Revised

The Ecomark Scheme was introduced to promote eco-friendly products in alignment with the ‘LiFE’ (Lifestyle for Environment) mission initiated in 2021.

  • The revised scheme, notified in 2024, replaces the earlier 1991 version, and focuses on reducing environmental impacts, promoting resource efficiency, and encouraging sustainable production and consumption.
  • Accreditation of products based on specific environmental criteria, ensuring minimal environmental harm.
  • Reduction in energy consumption and promoting a circular economy by utilizing recycled materials and eco-friendly production methods.
  • The scheme mandates accurate labelling to avoid misleading claims about product sustainability.
  • Implementation is overseen by the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) and Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS).
  • The scheme is a step towards achieving sustainability goals, supporting both consumer awareness and motivating manufacturers to adopt eco-friendly practices.
