  9. Eco-products and eco-certification • Biodegradable materials Are those capable of being degraded environmentally. They represent a new generation of materials capable of significantly reducing the environmental impact in terms of energy consumption and waste after use.

  10. ECO-PRODUCTS AND ECO-CERTIFICATION • Eco-certification They have as maingoals: to promote products with less environmental impact and provide consumers with better information on the environmental impact of more consumer products. • Key Features: -Should take into consideration the complete life cycle of the product or service -Should stimulate the improvement of the product or service -They must be accurate, verifiable and not misleading. -Should not create trade barriers -Should be based on science
