CERTIFICATE ECO FRIENDLY
What is the ECO FRIENDLY Certificate?
The [Name] mark is our promise that by choosing this product, you are making a better choice for the environment. Products marked with this label:
✅ are made from natural or recycled materials,
✅ have packaging that can be reused or recycled,
✅ are produced in a way that conserves energy and water,
✅ are free from harmful substances,
✅ are designed to last long and safely.
With the [Name] mark, you can be sure that you are supporting a healthier planet, wise consumption, and responsible production.
Together, we create a nature-friendly future.
The ECO FRIENDLY certificate can be issued to both products and institutions from every industry, from medicines and cosmetics to heavy industry and services, excluding the agricultural and food industry. The certificate is awarded to companies and organizations whose activities do not negatively impact the natural environment. It pertains to both the production of individual goods and how they are disposed of.
It is also important whether the raw materials from which ECO FRIENDLY certified products are made are not harmful to humans and the environment.
Why certification with IBiC?
An ecological certificate is a business necessity.
Potential customers are increasingly paying attention to the raw materials from which products are made and how they are disposed of.
Short execution time.
How to obtain the ECO FRIENDLY certificate.
The first step in the EKO certification process is to identify the processes occurring in the company and to determine the dependencies and interactions between them. Next, focus on conducting a thorough analysis of each identified product subject to certification by verifying whether it complies with the certification standards. Based on the results of the conducted analysis, the company should implement necessary supplementary and corrective actions. The ecological certificate is a clear signal to consumers, proof of high product quality, and care for the environment. It is often also a necessity if we want to sell our products outside Poland – the eco certificate simply inspires trust. In principle, the process of applying for an eco certificate typically consists of an audit part (primarily confirming compliance with the accepted requirements), a testing part (testing raw materials, etc.), and a verification part (conducted after the ECO FRIENDLY certificate is granted).
Assessment criteria.
The requirements for "eco friendly" are varied and depend on different contexts, products, or services. In general, the goal of "eco friendly" is to minimize the negative impact on the natural environment and resources in the production, usage, or disposal process. During certification, personnel assess the organization's activities and award points for meeting specific requirements.
An environmentally friendly product is one that has been designed, manufactured, and used in a way that minimizes negative impacts on the natural environment. During certification, personnel assess the product and award points for meeting specific requirements.
The certificate is granted when the organization or product receives a minimum of 70 points during the evaluation.
