The EcoLogoCM Program needs your expertise in the expansion of a current standard and offers an important opportunity to contribute to EcoLogo’s continued scientific rigor and environmental leadership.

We are requesting comments on the proposed criteria for Area Rugs (CCD-152G), which is an expansion of CCD-152 for Flooring Products. This invitation for public participation is restricted to Area Rugs only as it is the EcoLogoCM Program’s intention to review the entire standard for Flooring Products in 2009, when all criteria will be re-assessed against current environmental best practices and other available standards in the market sector.

In developing environmental leadership standards, EcoLogoCM actively encourages the participation of a wide variety of stakeholders familiar with the product group. This includes environmental NGOs and other not-for-profit organizations, academics and other scientific experts, manufacturers, industry associations, government representatives, and purchasing professionals.

Please direct comments to standards_development@ecologo.org. All comments are treated with discretion and confidentiality.

The EcoLogoCM Certification Criteria Document (CCD) can be found online at: http://www.ecologo.org/en/criteriaunderdevelopmentandreview/criteriaunderpublicreview/ or a copy can be sent upon request.
