Ecolabel is a labelling system for consumer products (including foods) that are made in fashion to avoid detrimental effects on the environment. Usually both the
precautionary principle and the
substitution principle are used when defining the rules for what products can be ecolabelled. Many (but not all) ecolabels are not directly connected to the firms that manufacture or sell the ecolabelled products. Just as for the quality assurance labelling systems it is of imperative importance that the labelling entity is clearly divided from and independent of the manufacturers. All ecolabelling is voluntary, meaning that they are not mandatory by law.
