Svane Echology Label
http://www.ecolabel.no/
The Nordic environmental label is the official ecolabel in Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Finland and Iceland.
http://www.naturvern.no/info/nm/b21a96/SVANE22.html
«Miljøsjefen syns det er for dyrt å bruke Svane-merket. Det koster rundt 10 000 kroner å søke om godkjenning. I tillegg må produsenten ut med 0,4 prosent av omsetningen til en Svane-merket vare. Werge mener resultatet blir dyrere varer for forbrukerne. I tillegg mener han at en rekke mindre miljøbelastende varer ikke vil bli merket fordi produsenten syns det er for dyrt.»
