GiT Product Badge

GREENiTOP® recognize a product, by means of its Technical Committee (Advisor), considering the following objective evidences:

• 1st type (ISO 14024) Third Party Product Certifications
• 2nd type (ISO 14021) Environmental Self-certifications

• Are the producing processes controlled and traceable (according to the manufacturing protocol)?
• How much recycled material is used in the product, package included?
• To what extent is it recyclable (waste production)?
• Does the material have a Third Party certification (eg FSC / PEFC, Declare, Cradle to Cradle, GreenGuard, LCA / EPD, SCS FloorScore, etc.)?
• Has the material been tested (e.g. test report by Test Laboratories)?
