Знаците за екопродукти – източници на информация или съмнениe?

The roots of the ecolabel can be found in the growing concern of mankind for the environment. The eco-label appears in the conditions of market saturation when each manufacturer seeks additional bonuses for their goods. This is a way of "courting" the customer to encourage the purchase of a commodity that is environment friendly product.
