                    [Summary] => The Philippines is finally catching up with at least one global trend: eco-labeling.


Pioneered in Europe as "green labeling," the use by industries of environmentally friendly production processes, packaging materials, health and safety practices – has been recognized by governments with green labels.


The green labels gave products premium customer choice that commanded better prices.


Until last year, green labeling was unheard of in the Philippines.

                    [Summary] => The Philippines is finally catching up with at least one global trend: eco-labeling.


Pioneered in Europe as "green labeling," the use by industries of environmentally friendly production processes, packaging materials, health and safety practices – has been recognized by governments with green labels.


The green labels gave products premium customer choice that commanded better prices.


Until last year, green labeling was unheard of in the Philippines.
