Since 1988, Canada, Japan, France and other countries have also established their own green mark certification systems. Nordic countries such as Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden began to implement a unified Nordic green mark between countries in 1989. Singapore, Malaysia, South Korea and other Asian countries have also carried out green label work. At present, more than 20 countries and regions in the world have implemented or are actively preparing to implement green label plans. There are hundreds of green label product types and nearly 10,000 products.
The names and graphics of green product logos vary from country to country. my country established the "China Environmental Labeling Product Certification Committee" in May 1993 and implemented the green label certification system. Although green mark certification started late in our country, it has developed rapidly. At present, there are more than 200 certified companies in my country, involving household appliances, building materials, children's toys, textiles, food and beverages, office supplies, automobiles, etc., but they are far from meeting market demand. Now, companies in Shanghai are paying more and more attention to the development of green products and have made gratifying progress. In 2000, the number of companies applying for environmental labeling product certification was more than the number of companies in the previous six years combined. From January to September 2001, the number of companies applying for environmental labeling product certification exceeded 2,000. In 2016, the number of products increased to 46 categories.
