Eco mark is given to a product which is

Explanation

The Ecomark is a certification mark issued by the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) to products that are environment friendly and conform to a set of standards aimed at causing the least impact on the ecosystem. Launched in 1991 by the Ministry of Environment and Forests, the scheme helps consumers identify products that are ecologically safe.

  • The logo for the Ecomark scheme is an earthen pot (Matka), which symbolizes the use of a renewable resource and its eventual return to the earth.
  • The criteria for certification cover the entire life cycle of a product, including raw material extraction, manufacturing, usage, and disposal.
  • While Option C refers to purity (often associated with AGMARK), the Ecomark specifically targets environmental sustainability.
