Ecological signs:

System Conformity Mark mandatory certification By environmental requirements in Russia

"Der Grune Punkt"- "Green Dot"

The name of this sign is translated from German as " Green dot". Contrary to popular belief, this symbol does not mean that the product or part of it was made from recycled materials or is even recyclable.

In fact, the mark is placed on their products by companies that provide financial assistance German waste recycling program "Eco Emballage" (Ecological Packaging") and are included in its recycling system. Thus, outside Germany, the sign does not have any positive meaning, and in the case when it is placed on domestic products by local manufacturers, it is completely absurd The sign is available in black and white, green and white and green.

"Chlorine Free"- Products, during the production, processing or treatment of which chlorine, chlorine-containing oxidizers and organochlorine compounds were not used as feedstock in the manner prescribed, are marked with the sign

Bullseye- a sign that a product is safe for the body if ingested means that the product does not even contain potential carcinogens that can cause cancer.

The presence of such a sign on the packaging means that the International Anti-Cancer Coalition has tested this product and confirms that it is absolutely harmless to the human body.

Only the international anti-cancer coalition “CANCER PREVENTION COALITION”, led by Dr. Samuel Epstein, has the right to mark the company’s products with this symbol.

Recycled Recycled- Recycling sign
In theory, this label should indicate that the product (or packaging) is made from recycled material (Recycled) and/or is recyclable.

At the same time, manufacturers are recommended to explain in text under or around the sign what is meant, and also to clarify the parameters of “recycling,” for example, “Made from 70% recycled cardboard.”
However, the use of this mark is not controlled by any organization. Therefore, anyone can put it on their products. Therefore, in practice, this sign doesn’t really mean anything...

We also have unverified information that the sign in the upright version means "Recycled", and the sign printed in the negative version means "Recyclable". But most likely this is just speculation...

Rabbit- the icon indicates that the product is not tested on animals; it is tested on artificially grown human skin.

Recyclable plastic sign This mark is placed on plastic products that can be industrially recycled.
Moreover, the number placed inside the triangle indicates the type of plastic to simplify sorting and recycling. Also under the sign there may be a letter code of the plastic.

Below is a table of correspondence between number codes and types of plastic.

Manipulation signs and their meanings

Basic requirements for cargo packaging:

Goods handed over for transportation must have proper containers and packaging. The cargo must be packaged taking into account its special properties in such a way that during normal handling measures (transportation, unloading, etc.) its safety is ensured and the possibility of damage to other cargo is eliminated. Packaging of goods must be clean and dry, without external damage and access to the contents. Metal, glass, ceramic, wood, plastic and other containers into which liquid and other goods to be transported are packaged (filled) must fully protect against leakage, spillage or scattering of contents. The nature of the packaging must correspond to the contents of the cargo and weight (i.e. ensure the safety of the contents inside the package). Internal attachments must be tightly packed and free of voids. The boxes must not contain old cargo markings and there must be no handling marks that do not correspond to the contents. It is prohibited to pack dangerous goods in one box (container) together with any other goods. Loads requiring special conditions storage and transportation must contain appropriate markings, manipulation signs and prescriptive instructions for handling them.

Please take into account that the responsibility for proper packaging of the cargo, ensuring its safety during transportation, lies directly with the sender of the cargo.

Do not use cloth bags for packing.

Marking and packaging of goods - GOST 14192-96

Do not use cellophane tape or rope when packing packages.

“Fragile” and “Caution” labels are no substitute for careful packaging. They may be used for informational purposes only. Each shipment must be well sealed. Well sealed boxes are more durable.
