– WHY YOU NEED GREENTAG –

Buying ethical & healthy can be hard.

As a buyer, how can you be certain that the product in your hand impacts positively on the issues you care about?

As a manufacturer, how can you take all your hours of product development and pack them into a simple statement that instantly shows buyers that they can trust you?

As a specifier or designer, how can you get trustworthy information on green products fast and efficiently?

It’s really difficult.

That’s why we created GreenTag…

Genuine products need genuine recognition.

Greenwash has ruled in the eco market. Any brand can claim to be an environmental saviour with a few ‘natural’ ingredients and some sharp marketing. Buyers don’t know who to trust. Fake products in green packaging take sales away from genuinely deserving brands. The planet continues to be exploited in the name of inauthentic green design. Everyone suffers.

We created GreenTag as a tool to cut through the greenwash and empower professionals and consumers alike to confidently choose products that have been made in the most planet-friendly way possible. GreenTag takes the doubt out of buying. And because buyers know they can trust the label, genuine green products earn the greatest reward of all: trust.

To build trust in GreenTag we:

  • require full disclosure of every product ingredient and process
  • made it the most independently certified, standards compliant certification in the market.

How is it compliant?

The most comprehensive certification on the planet.

One certification to access them all.

GreenTag is recognised by the most prominent certification schemes in the world.  Whatsmore, if a product doesn’t pass fit-for purpose tests, we won’t even assess it, so you can be sure the product you are purchasing or specifying is safe and healthy for your needs and better for nature’s.

LCARate: Four levels of attainment.

GreenTag’s LCARate program is for consumers and professionals who want to understand the overall sustainability of products compared to a worst case ‘Business as Usual’ product.

It awards products on four levels, Bronze, Silver, Gold and Platinum, which help buyers choose and manufacturers improve.

It also helps professionals meet the Green Building Council of Australia’s Green Star® ‘Life Cycle Impacts’ credits with its EPD reporting. LCARate™ is also relevant to Infrastructure professionals working with the ‘IS’ rating tool from the Infrastructure Sustainability Council of Australia.
