Eco-labelling is a symbol, an image or a wording on a label of a particular product or in its documentation indicating the environmental aspects of the product. Eco-labelling is intended to inform a consumer in a concise manner about the environmental benefits of the product and persuade him to buy the product that will have less impact on the environment. Eco-labelling symbols may vary.
According to survey conducted in November-December 20181, for 30 % of citizens, eco-labelling plays an important role in purchasing decisions. At the same time, 35 % never pay attention to labels, and more so in the South and East. 8 % of respondents do not know what eco-labelling is at all, and more so in the West.
