Procurement, Purchase and Access to Eco-Friendly Products
Why We Should Buy GreenLabel Products
Apart from selecting a product based on its price, performance and other attributes, its impact on the environment should also be carefully weighed. We, as consumers, have the power and responsibility to choose and purchase products that are less harmful to the environment in their manufacturing, use or disposal.
In doing so we are not only directly improving the environment through the use of a specific product, but we are also sending a clear message to industries that the market demands such products and ever increasingly products need to be green to be competitive.
How to Identify
Look out for the GreenLabel logo on the product, retail packaging, or attached sticker. The GreenLabel is accompanied by the applicant’s identification number and a description of what environmental aspects the product has been awarded for.
Where to Buy
Products carrying the GreenLabel are available at all major departmental stores, supermarkets, provision stores and bookshops.
New Product Categories
New categories of products are continually being considered for addition to the Singapore Green Labelling Scheme. Manufacturers, retailers and members of the public are encouraged to give their suggestions to the Singapore Environment Council on what groups of products they would like to see incorporated under the scheme.
