Definition
Environmentally friendly, also referred to as nature
friendly, is a term used to refer to goods and
services considered to inflict minimal harm on the
environment. Due to the fact there is no existing
international standard for this term, the
International Standards Organization deemed it
too vague to be meaningful.
