The Medio-Ambiente ecolabeling program in Spain was developed in 1993 by the Spanish Association of Standardization and Certification (AENOR). AENOR, a privately-run organization, acts as the Competent Body for awarding the European Union ecolabel in Spain (as part of the EUscheme). AENOR is a member of the Global Ecolabeling Network (GEN) and participates in the development of the International Standards Organization (ISO) ecolabeling standards. The program is voluntary, and aims to promote the production of environmentally preferable products and to provide information about the environmental impacts of available products. To date, criteria have been set for three product categories: paints and varnishes, polyethylene bags for waste, and polyethylene bags for the supermarket. In total, 14 labels have been awarded for positive environmental attributes.
