Philips Launches Green Logo
I just came across an article about the new Philips “Green Tick” logo. Yet again, another corporation creating their own eco label. Watch out readers, the wave has yet to hit. An influx of “corporate biodiesel bandwagon jumpers” will soon be flooding stores with their chic “green labels”.
According to the Philips website, the Green Tick logo will be on their most environmentally friendly and safe products. This will ensure consumers that they are making the right environmental choice. All Green Tick logo products are certified by external auditors to be more than 10% more efficient than other products on the market within a given product category.
Green Tick logo products perform significantly better in at least one of the following areas:
* Energy Efficiency
* Weight
* Packaging
* Recycling
* Hazardous Materials
Currently, seven of Philips’ flat TVs carry the Green Tick logo with a target of doubling the number to 14 by the end of 2007 to include DVD recorders, home cinema systems, wireless devices and portable accessories. The Green Tick logo will launch into stores from April 2007 across Europe, North America and Asia.
