The Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change proposes amendments to the Ecomark Rules, 2024, specifically updating the criteria for granting the Ecomark label to six product categories: architectural paints and powder coatings, batteries, paper products, wood and wood substitutes, fire extinguishers, and coir products. Manufacturers must meet revised quality, environmental, and performance standards, including specific limits on hazardous substances, heavy metals, and volatile organic compounds. The proposal mandates compliance with pollution control acts, the use of QR codes on packaging for criteria transparency, and adherence to Extended Producer Responsibility frameworks. The government invites public objections or suggestions within 60 days from the publication date of June 8, 2026, before finalizing these criteria.
What you must do
- Submit objections or suggestions to the Joint Secretary within 60 days of publication.
- Ensure product packaging bears a QR code specifying the Ecomark criteria.
