What is a green product? What are the green products?

Green products. It refers to the production process and its own energy saving, water saving, low pollution, low toxicity, renewable, and renewable.

It is also the ultimate embodiment of the application of green technology. Green products can directly promote people's consumption concepts and production methods.

The main feature of the transformation is to achieve environmental protection in the form of market regulation. It is fashionable for the public to buy green products, and enterprises are encouraged to produce green products as a way to obtain economic benefits.

In order to encourage, protect and supervise the production and consumption of green products, many countries have formulated a "green label" system. Ministry of Agriculture of our country.

In 1990, it was the first to name and launch pollution-free "green food". In 1995, the number of "green foods" increased to 389. In the industrial field, China has fully implemented the "green label" since 1994, and so far 35 products in 8 categories, such as low-fluorine household refrigerators, unleaded gasoline and phosphorus-free laundry detergent, have obtained the "green label".

However, the ** of green products is several times higher than that of ordinary similar products.

Features. In short, a green product is one that is more environmentally friendly than similar products at present. Green products have the same three characteristics as traditional products:

The success of the core product in meeting the main needs of consumers ——— usefulness to consumers;

The technology and quality are qualified, and the products meet various technical and quality standards;

The product is competitive in the market and is conducive to the realization of the company's profit target.

However, compared with traditional products, green products have one more important basic criterion, that is, they meet the requirements of environmental protection. We can achieve sustainable development through the maintenance of the environment through the maintenance of our products.

and whether the enterprise has its due social responsibility.

These two considerations are used to evaluate the "green performance" of green products. It can be said that the fundamental difference between green products and traditional products lies in their function of improving the environment and the quality of social life.

It means that the quality of the product itself meets the environmental, health and health standards, and its production, use and treatment process will not cause pollution or damage to the environment. Green represents life, health and vitality, and symbolizes the vitality of nature.

Today, green products are like a wisp of green wind blowing into our lives, we eat green food, wear green clothes, use green appliances, drive green cars ......The boom in green products has brought a ray of life to the planet, where the environment is deteriorating day by day.
