Label in Marketing
How to use theECO PASSPORT label on marketing materials?
It can be used to promote OEKO-TEX® ECO PASSPORT certified chemicals through catalogues, flyers, product websites or any other media such as social media in connection with an ECO PASSPORT certified product.
The connection with the certified chemical must be always recognisable and visible for everyone. Therefore, only chemicals that are actually labelled with an OEKO-TEX® ECO PASSPORT label may be advertised as such. This means that a ECO PASSPORT label may only be displayed in brochures,
catalogues, online shops or other media such as social media in connection with the product whose ECO PASSPORT certificate number it bears.
If a chemical is advertised as OEKO-TEX® ECO PASSPORT certified, the physical chemical must be marked with the valid corresponding label.
OEKO-TEX® strongly recommends using the label to promote products. However, we recognise that sometimes the designsolution won’t allow it. In these cases, a second option to promote the ECO PASSPORT certified products is available. This is done through text, which shall be in visual adjacency to the promoted product.
The text must contain the following information: full product brand name, certificate number, institute
It is recommended that the text contains the link to the OEKO-TEX® website.
Example:
Greener chemistry.
