Great labels to look for
Eco-Buy: Most highly regarded Australian green purchasing program and guide. All products in its ECO-find database are recommended and some are available through Offce-Max (e.g Evolve Paper).
Resource NSW: NSW Dept Env & Conservation. Know Your Paper guide, Office products guide and some great links, including PDF publications for you to download.
Choosing Recycled Paper: Victorian Commissioner for Environmental Sustainability. PDF publications for you to download.
Australian Environmental Labelling Association: (good looking website, but has limited and questionable content….)
EcoLogo (Canada)
Environment Canada runs the environmental choice program which grants
the label based on life cycle review.
Blue Angel: pioneering and highly reputed German based eco-label
EcoLabel: EU eco-label
US Consumers Union Eco-Labels: US based/focused but an excellent index of a diverse range of consumer eco labels, including international agreements (eg FSC). Unfortunately, no office products section.
