The purpose of this project is to establish the indicators of environmental benefit, method to evaluate environmental benefits, and indicators of environmental benefits for 21 product categories.
Based on this, four main items are accomplished as below: (1)Research on 11 kinds of method or cases from different green labeling system including Energy Star, EPEAT, Green Mark, and water conservation label etc. (2)Select 21 product categories that can represent different environmental benefits, including laptop, electric fan, Electric storage drink water heater, tissue made with recycled paper, detergent, skin cleansing agent etc. (3)build analysis tool with Excel to standardize the environmental benefits of eco-products. (4)To coordinate with the “2014 Evaluation of Environmental Benefits of Green–Mark Products “ project, the framework of environmental benefit indicators of eco-products is proposed, and the calculator of environmental benefit of eco-product is provided to consumers online.
There were six expert consultations held during the project period to provide more comprehensive ideas to the project. In the short term, adding more data to current database of the environmental benefits to quantify different Green-Mark product categories and environmental benefits of product items. In the long run, more comprehensive settings of calculations and simulated scenarios can be implemented as data in different stages of product life cycle are more complete. At the same time, the database should be updated regularly to comply with international labeling system and maintain its completeness.
