Over the six years since the launching of Taiwan’s eco-labelling scheme 577 products in 47 product groups have been awarded an eco-label. A total of nearly 1.3 billion individual eco-labels have been used since the program’s inception. The system is expected to make even more progress when green purchasing statutes in the Government Purchasing Act go into effect next year. Future developments of the eco-label system include linking the system with ISO14020 certification system trends, building in product lifecycle analysis considerations, promoting mutual eco-label recognition with other nations, strengthening eco-label use oversight and management, and promoting initiatives such as “green purchasing alliances.”
Since Taiwan’s eco-labelling scheme was launched by the EPA in November of 1993, criteria for 47 eco-label product groups have been established. A total of 577 individual products, produced by 150 different companies, have been certified to carry an eco-label (called the “Green Mark” in Taiwan). Since the program’s inception, a total of nearly 1.3 billion individual eco-labels have been used, with a total production value of NT$25 billion. Compared with the eco-labelling schemes of other nations, Taiwan’s system has performed very well (see Table).

Of the 47 product groups for which eco-label criteria have been established, 16 items can be classified as low pollution products, 16 as resource-saving products and 15 as recyclable products. Most products awarded a Green Mark are consumer goods, while some products are being specially promoted by the R.O.C. government, such as electric powered motorcycles and portland cement.
The product groups with the highest number of Green Mark products include standard water-saving toilets, recycled-paper packaging products, and beverage cans with pull-tab tops. The latter group had the highest individual label usage due to the large consumption quantities in that category.
To accommodate green purchasing statutes that go into effect in May of next year, the EPA plans to strengthen promotion of eco-labels. According to Article 96 of the Government Purchasing Act, government approved “green products” can be given priority for purchases and will be eligible for a 10% price margin above comparable “non-green” products. So called “green products” will in most cases be those products that have been awarded a Green Mark.
Taiwan’s eco-labelling scheme is expected to make even more progress when green purchasing statutes go into effect next year. With this in mind, the EPA has set challenging growth targets. By 2001, the number of product groups should be expanded to 70 and the number of individual products qualifying for a Green Mark should reach 900. By 2006, the number of product groups should hit 120, with 2,000 individual Green Mark products. These numbers shall jump again by 2011 (the R.O.C.’s centennial anniversary). By that time, there should be a total of 150 product groups and 3,000 individual products, and a total of 3.3 billion individual labels will have been used. Furthermore, Taiwan’s Green Mark system should, by this time, have achieved mutual recognition with most other eco-labelling schemes in use throughout the world.
To accelerate development, eco-label promotion efforts will be strengthened. Apart from printing and distributing new green product directories and news briefs and improving online information, the EPA has commissioned the Environment and Development Foundation to promote the organization of “green purchasing alliances.” It is hoped that these alliances can integrate the efforts of government agencies, businesses, academia and environmental groups to accelerate the promotion of green products.
Additionally, international cooperation for eco-labelling schemes will be strengthened. This work will include promoting mutual recognition of globally recognized eco-labels, raising product standards and keeping pace with the international community to avoid “green trade barriers.” Other efforts include strengthening oversight and controls on eco-label users to raise the public’s trust in green products.
Other important efforts include reviewing the current development of product standards. In the future, eco-labelling scheme development will more closely follow ISO14020 certification system trends in the international community to develop more reasonable and environmentally sensitive product standards for use in eco-labelling schemes. ， 欄位年度的內容是1999 ， 欄位月份的內容是2 ， 欄位卷的內容是2 ， 欄位期的內容是6 ， 欄位順序的內容是1 ， 欄位倒序的內容是2 ， 欄位分類的內容是Eco-labeling ， 欄位標題2的內容是Feature Article Taiwan s Eco-labelling Scheme Rapidly Matures ， 欄位檔案位置的內容是print/V2/V2-06 。
