Procedures for Affixing Ecolabels

The Minister of Environmental Affairs recently issued Regulation No. 2 of 2014 on Affixing Ecolabel Logo (“Regulation”), which sets out procedures for businesses to affix Ecolabels to their products.

An Ecolabel is a logo that affirms that a product is environmental friendly, and complies with environmental friendly methodologies with respect to how the product’s raw materials were acquired, manufacturing processes, distribution, use, and product waste treatment.

Under the Regulation, Ecolabels are divided into two categories: 1) the Indonesian Ecolabel Logo (Logo Ekolabel Indonesia),[1] and 2) the Indonesian Self-declaration Ecolabel Logo (Logo Ekolabel Swadeklarasi Indonesia).[2]
