R3 Certifying Organizations
GREENSTAR CERTIFIED began in 2005 after a review of existing ecolabeling programs such as the Environmental Choice Program, Nordic Ecolabeling’s Swan Program and the Australian Environmental Labeling Association’s Environmental Choice were completed by the Greenstar Certified staff. This led to the development of a product labeling and certification program that included a certification process, regulations, standards and application instructions titled GCCP01. The GCCP01 standards are posted on the Greenstar Certified Web site.
