An earlier post identified Underwriters Laboratories’ attempt to sort through the myriad certifications and eco standards, and now BASF, the chemical company, has launched its own SELECT Eco-Label Manager database. That is:
BASF’s Sustainability, Eco-Labeling & Environmental Certification Tracking Eco-Label Manager was developed to help BASF and our external stakeholders strategically manage the abundance of eco-labels, environmental claims, product directories and green ratings systems.
The SELECT database exists alongside the earlier Ecolabel Index database, operated by Big Room, Inc.
Coming next: an index of ecolabel indexes?
