Ecostandard South Africa

ecostandard south africa is a proudly south african, non profit organisation (npo) that has developed the ecoproduct eco-label for materials. ecoproduct is a third party audited measurement tool to identify building products that demonstrate responsible environmental practice. if a building product meets the criteria set out by ecostandard it will be given an eco-label that will allow it to be easily identifiable by architects, engineers, contractors, retailers and the general public wishing to make environmentally conscious decisions when sourcing building materials. ecoproduct is based on a lifecycle assessment approach in terms of the iso14024 environmental labels and declarations — type i environmental labeling — principles and procedures in order to provide a holistic assessment of a building product. this means that all stages of the life of the product will be considered from sourcing raw materials, manufacturing, packaging and distribution, product use and end of life. a scorin
