3. Generation of the ENVIROSCORE tag with the corresponding letter. Application in the linear or packaging of the products following the guidelines of the regulations of use of the logo.
4. Evaluation of the understanding and acceptance by consumers
5. Comparison of the score of the selected products with other products of the same category
