GREEN CERTIFICATION

Green Certification in Malaysia

Green certification represents the environmental value of renewable energy generated in an Organization. Several countries use green certificates as a means to make the support of green electricity generation closer to a market economy instead of more practical investment support and feed-in tariffs.

The Green Product Certification system adopts the ‘Cradle to Grave’ approach for evaluation, on par with international Standards. The objective of Green Certification is to assess ‘How Green is a product, based on a holistic framework, and highlight the way forward to achieve excellence in environmental performance.

The certification system encourages the product manufacturers to apply Green measures in all phases of the product e.g. Product Design, Raw Materials, Manufacturing Process, Product Performance during use, and Recycling/Disposal. This Certification system Provides guidelines to the manufacturers to position their products as green and eco-friendly.

While the economy of a country grows there would be an increase in resource consumption and associated environmental impacts. To Fulfill these needs for environment-friendly Green Products and Services, IAS has launched the Green Product Certification.
