UL and The Environment: Earth Day and Beyond
Since 1894, UL has been the leader in writing safety standards. Now, with the focus on environmental concerns, UL recognizes the need for and is developing new, relevant and reliable standards for environmental sustainability.
UL Environment has begun to test and certify eco-friendly products, processes and materials to environmental standards. So, just as the UL Mark stands for product safety, the Sustainable Product Certification Mark stands for the measure of a product’s sustainability.
To help ensure that environmental claims are valid, UL Environment also tests and validates eco-claims such as recycled content, energy efficiency and water efficiency so you can feel confident about your green product choices.
