Developed by SGS experts in consultation with industry leaders and piloted with companies across the consumer products sector, the SGS Green Mark enables organisations to demonstrate the validity of environmental claims relating to seven attributes: hazardous substances, recycled content, PFAS, bio-based, PVC-free, industrial compostability, and biodegradability.
Products are independently assessed to recognised standards and a technical review is conducted by a specialist to confirm the product claim. Once compliance has been confirmed by SGS’s global network of laboratories, a product can display the fully traceable SGS Green Mark. This contains details of the environmental claim and assessment standard(s) with a QR code to give consumers further information about the claim’s authenticity.
Eric Wang, SGS global deputy technical head for softlines, said: ‘The SGS Green Mark enables a growing tide of environmentally conscious consumers to be better informed on the impacts of their purchases and make greener choices.’
