Global GreenTag International will launch its product certification standard and eco-labeling program in the U.S. later this year.

Global GreenTag (http://www.globalgreentag.com/) is recognized by the International WELL Building Standard and also claims compliance with the U.S. Green Building Council's LEED v4 building program and tools. The Global GreenTag Product Certification scheme includes a Product Health Declaration tool that rates the healthiness of products with a HealthRATE Mark.

Global Green Tag also offers the EN 15804-compliant Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) Program that will rate U.S.-made products with a CarbonRATE Mark. Global GreenTag will launch its U.S. site and product certification services at the GREENBUILD International Conference and Expo in Chicago, November 14-16.
