環保標章、綠色消費、綠色採購

Ecolabelling, Green Consumption, Green Procurement

環保標章是國際性活動，被視為一種利用市場機能，鼓勵企業改善產品環保績效的經濟工具，也是推廣綠色消費運動的一種重要手段。依據國際標準組織（ISO）所公告之ISO 14024標準之定義，第一類環保標章是自發性、多重準則、經第三者驗證之計畫。對於在某類產品項目（product category）中，具有整體環境優越性（overall environmental preferability）之產品，頒發專用之標章。使用專用標章之目的在強調「獲得標章的產品是最優良的產品，消費者看到標章即可安心購買」。 行政院環境保護署於1992年8月訂頒「環保標章推動使用作業要點」，促成我國環保標章制度於1993年中之正式推出。此制度鼓勵消費者採購具有可回收、低污染及省資源等環保特性之產品，並使得政府機關在採購綠色產品時，具有明確之優先選擇項目。 環保標章計畫實施至今已經九年，已開放77項產品規格標準以供申請，分為低污染、可回收及省資源等三大項目。至2002年的12月為止，計有1557件產品獲頒標章，標章的使用總枚數則超過27億枚，價值超過450億元。 在提供予廠商誘因方面，政府綠色採購已初見成效。雖然環保署尚未公佈成果統計，但是由本會之統計資料顯示，本年度有將近600件產品申請環保標章並獲審核通過，此一數量為過去一整年的審核通過產品數量的3倍。同時各界查詢如何申請獲得或欲採購環保標章產品之電話數量也呈倍數增加。這些跡象都顯示產品製造廠商對於其產品申請獲得環保標章，以及政府機關對於採購綠色產品的興趣已經大為增加。 此外本年度完成與韓國環保標章組織簽定相互承認協定，並與日、韓、泰國共同開發兩項產品規格標準，其中「原生碳粉匣」已公告實施。由於我國在國際合作活動中表現積極，本年度更爭取到全球環保標章網路組織研討會暨年會在台北舉行，為環保標章界的一大盛事。

Environmental labeling is an international activity. It is considered an economic instrument to encourage the industries to improve their environmental performance and an important measure to promote green consumption. Based on the ISO 14024 standard, Type I environmental labeling is a voluntary program with multiple requirements and third-party certification. Type I program gives a patented logo to product (including services) proved to have an overall environmental preferability. The use of a patented logo gives out the notion to the general consumers that “These labeled products are the best green products within a specific product category. Therefore you may choose them with doubt.” The Environmental Protection Administration started the Green Mark program in Taiwan in August 1992 and finalized the procedures in the end of 1993. The Environment and Development Foundation (EDF) had been the certification body of this program since then. Up until now, there are 77 product criteria developed and published for application. These criteria may be categorized into three major groups: Low pollution, resource-saving and recyclable. There are a total of 1557 labeled products and the number of logo use has already exceeded 2.7 billion which is equivalent to an estimated production value of more than 45 billion NT. In order to provide incentive to the manufacturers to apply for the use of the logo, government agencies are encouraged to purchase Green Mark (type 1) and type 2 Green Products through the “Action Plan on Government Green Procurement” and to report back the result to EPA each February and August. Although EPA did not publish the statistical result of the August report yet, the effect of Government Green Procurement could be seen from the high number of labeled products this year (close to 600, compared to 200 per year in previous years) It indicates clearly that the interest from manufacturers in applying for certification as well as the interest from government agencies to buy green products increased tremendously. In addition, EDF succeeded in signing a mutual recognition agreement with the Korea Environmental Labelling Association this year and participated in a four-country joint program (with Japan, Korea and Thailand) to develop two common criteria. The criterion on “Original Tonner Cartridges” has already been finalized and published. Owing to EDF’s active involvement in the international activities, this year’s Global Ecolabelling Network Conference and Annual Meeting was held in Taipei and Hualien in October with more than 30 foreign participants from 17 countries. It was a good chance to show to the others what we have achieved here and to share our experiences with developing country delegates.
