Type: Quality
Name: Environment
Description: The contracting authority will emphasise whether the item is marked with the Swan Ecolabel or an equivalent environmental label type 1. Equivalent brand schemes are GOTS, Blå Engel, Bra Miljøval or EU Ecolabel. These marking schemes will be fully paid off in the evaluation, just like the Swan Ecolabel. Other labelling schemes will give a lower score, if the environmental labels are assessed as less relevant or comprehensive. For example, Fairtrade, Cotton Made in Africa (CMiA), Better Cotton Initiative (BCI), Økotex 100, ecologically labelled goods and Greenguard will give 25% value compared to the Swan Ecolabel. Økotex Made in Green gives 35% credit. Products where parts of the product are marked with the Swan Ecolabel or an equivalent environmental label type 1, will give 50% value. Tenderers who offer other brands will have the legal responsibility to document that their environmental label can be seen as equal/equivalent with the marks specified above. When calculation of points on this criteria, the score for the individual products will be multiplied by the estimated volume stated in column G in the Product and price form for the individual products.
