Abstract
This brief was summarised from: Green labelling, eco-certification and fair trade: Threats and opportunities for Namibia by Kudakwashe Ndhulukula and Pierre du Plessis for Namibia's Rapid Trade and Environmental Assessment. Edited by Sharon Montgomery. Article published on the REEEI website: www.reeei.org.na - Labels serve the purpose of allowing consumers to make comparisons and informed choices from among products and or services in a category. Environmental labels focus primarily on consumption rather than production of goods. Organic labels specify a particular production method without necessarily requiring proof of environmental improvement. Ecolabels communicate the environmental impacts over the life cycle of the product - "from cradle to grave" |
