North American Windpower: WindMade Label Expanding To Other Renewable Energy Sources

WindMade Label Expanding To Other Renewable Energy Sources

by NAW Staff on Tuesday 04 December 2012

WindMade, which was launched in 2011 as a label to designate companies powered by wind energy, is developing a new label for companies and products made using other forms of renewable energy.

The new label will recognize a wide variety of renewable energy sources, including wind, solar and geothermal, as well as hydropower and biomass from approved certification schemes.

A handful of major global companies - including Motorola, Bloomberg, Deutsche Bank, Widex, and Becton, Dickinson and Co. - have already adopted the WindMade label.

The new label is under development and will be launched in 2013.
