Eco Label Companies should move

There are over 454 of them worldwide according to Ecolabelindex.com So in fairness to all their descriptions should be moved to sub-pages and only a table of links and maybe a small logo picture should be here.

• No objections were made, so I will move subsections of label companies with their own wiki links and add them to subsection Green Label Links TheKevlar 20:24, 18 August 2017 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mkevlar (talk • contribs)

Expansion

Information was requested by others (in an article I'm merging in) on ASEAN's adoption of standards, and criticism that it was moving too slowly. I'm adding this note since requests like that belong on talk pages. -- Beland (talk) 17:08, 13 August 2010 (UTC)

Refering to the comment about the section on the European Ecolabel, that it should be shortened due to overlap. Would it make sense to start a new article on the European Ecolabel and then to shorten the section about it here?

Criticisms of Ecolabels.

I believe this is a crucial section to the article that we need. There are many news reports commenting on the lack of customer awareness and information on what each label indicates and its true impact as an ecolabeled product/service. [If you wish, I can post the particular articles here, but a simple Google search will reveal plentiful results]. And I believe it would also be worth to tie in a mention to the concept of greenwashing and false labelling that has been going on (according to the Greenwashing Report 2010, 95% of consumer products committed "at least one of the sins of greenwashing") I ask this because currently there is only one sentence in the article that refers to the Greenwashing article, which I think could do with a little more elaboration here. Eug.galeotti (talk) 17:12, 10 April 2011 (UTC)

I am the creation author of greenstickers and merged it with ecolabels. Greenwashing belongs in this article should be expanded beyond one sentence. However, Greenwashing is its own topic and any expansion should be done sparingly. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mkevlar (talk • contribs) 05:11, 27 November 2014 (UTC)

Blacklisted Links Found on Ecolabel

Cyberbot II has detected links on Ecolabel which have been added to the blacklist, either globally or locally. Links tend to be blacklisted because they have a history of being spammed or are highly inappropriate for Wikipedia. The addition will be logged at one of these locations: local or global If you believe the specific link should be exempt from the blacklist, you may request that it is white-listed. Alternatively, you may request that the link is removed from or altered on the blacklist locally or globally. When requesting whitelisting, be sure to supply the link to be whitelisted and wrap the link in nowiki tags. Please do not remove the tag until the issue is resolved. You may set the invisible parameter to "true" whilst requests to white-list are being processed. Should you require any help with this process, please ask at the help desk.

Below is a list of links that were found on the main page:

New page for Global GreenTag

Might I make a suggestions that Global GreenTag is ready for its own Wiki entry? Many thanks Dbaggs01 (talk) 22:41, 29 September 2020 (UTC)

If there are the required independent sources, perhaps. There were none such on this article, so I removed all the poorly sourced mentions and WP:EL-violating external links. - MrOllie (talk) 23:01, 29 September 2020 (UTC)
