Hundreds of events occur every day in North America, from sporting events to meetings, each requiring a variety of material resources such as tableware, food products and signage. During these events, a large amount of solid waste such as food packaging and waste products such as CO2 emissions from shipping materials to a tradeshow are produced – a significant amount that could end up in the landfill or the air.

Products used on a daily basis by most North Americans - shampoos, hair conditioners, body wash and body soap - are undergoing a special kind of scrutiny as the EcoLogo Program reviews its standard for Personal Care Products.

The EcoLogo Program has grown by leaps and bounds over the years and is recognized as one of the top third-party certifications in North America.

In an effort to modernize the logo, a new EcoLogo mark has been designed that will replace the traditional version (three doves forming a leaf) in the United States. Canadian companies with EcoLogo-certified products or services have been given the option to either continue to use the traditional version or opt for the new mark seen here. Further details will be sent to clients about the use of the EcoLogo’s marks in the form of an interim Guide and, in the coming weeks, a more comprehensive Guide will be circulated.

We are also proud to announce a newly designed EcoLogo website. We encourage you to surf the site and provide us with your feedback: www.ecologo.org.
