IT will cost pulp and paper manufacturing companies more to slap the Green Label - a badge of eco-friendliness - on their products from this year, with new criteria unveiled on Tuesday by the Singapore Environment Council (SEC).
This is because the SEC, which administers the Singapore Green Label Scheme (SGLS), now considers how well these pulp and paper companies manage peatland and fires in the course of their operations, thus targeting the causes of the annual haze that blankets Singapore and the region.
