Discontinued
from December 2008
EcoCover (NZ) Limited received certification to use the prestigious
Environmental Choice New Zealand Label, a New Zealand Government initiative
but has made the decision not to renew its license for 2009 pending
a higher degree of visibility by the label in the New Zealand marketplace.
Few New Zealand products meet the high environmental standards required
to qualify. EcoCover mulch mat underwent a rigorous, independent audit
of the product's specification prior to being approved.

The Australian Ecolabel Program is the national environmental product life cycle ecolabelling program for Australia. Good Environmental Choice Australia Ltd manages the Australian Ecolabel Program, and is an independent organisation recognised as the Australian member of an international network of ecolabelling schemes. The Ecolabel is awarded to those products that meet or exceed voluntary standards of environmental performance. The verification process performed by Good Environmental Choice Australia has found Coffs Harbour Challenge (EcoCover Mulch Mat and EcoCrop Mulch Mat) to be fully compliant with the requirements of GECA 11-2005 - Recycled Paper Products standard.
Internationally, similar labels for manufactured products subscribing
to such high environmental standards and auditing processes are very
valuable, especially for the organic and domestic retail markets. Such
labels confer a high level of confidence in the consumer's purchasing
decision to buy environmentally responsible products. Such brands have
high recognition with consumers and usually generate a 'value added
margin'. Environmental Choice New Zealand is an accredited member of
the Global Ecolabelling Network (GEN).
