"Green mark",also known as"environmental mark",is a general term for a label that meets the requirements of environmental protection.This kind of label is different from the product trademark,which indicates that the product completely conforms to the requirements of environmental protection in the process of production and use,and does not damage the ecological environment and human health.The first country in the world to use the green mark is Federal Germany.In 1978,the"Blue Angel"plan implemented by the Federal Republic of Germany was a green sign.During the implementation of the plan,they issued environmental labels to 3600 products.In 1988,Canada,Japan,the United States and other countries began to implement green signs.Canada is known as"environmental choice"and Japan as"ecological sign".France,Switzerland,Finland,Australia and other countries began to implement green signs in 1991.China's Ministry of Agriculture began to implement the green food mark in 1989.Nowadays,the green sign has been popular all over the world,welcomed by people,and showed a strong vitality.According to the survey,40%of Europeans prefer to buy"green"products rather than"traditional"products.For their own interests,the enterprise community will show their technological progress in environmental protection to achieve the purpose of promoting product sales.The implementation of the"green mark"is to tell consumers to consider not only the price and quality factors,but also the impact on the environment when choosing commodities.It is to improve the environmental awareness of consumers,strengthen the supervision of the environment,and promote enterprises to pay attention to environmental problems in the production process,so as to reduce the harm and adverse impact on the environment.In international trade,"green mark"products will have strong competitiveness.
