The EcoLogo Program takes a multi-attribute, lifecycle approach to developing its standards. All attributes are given the same level of attention, which for paper includes recycled content, solid waste, resource and energy consumption, measure of organic pollutants in water (COD-Chemical Oxygen Discharge) and aquatic toxicity. The EcoLogo Program regularly reviews its standards to ensure they continue to reflect environmental leadership.
