The seminar “Investigación científica para el apoyo de políticas ambientales de la Unión Europea” [Scientific research for the support of European Union environmental policies], organised by OFITEC and the BP Chair in Industrial Environment of the UJI, has exposed the role of the JRC in the eco-labelling of products within the European Union and in the implementation of policies such as EU Ecolabel, Green Public Procurement, Ecodesign and Energy Labelling.

As conclusions, both Sanfélix and some of the attendees have agreed on the lack of knowledge of this type of labels by end consumers and the reluctance of industries to adopt some of these criteria.

This seminar, organised by the recently created BP Chair in Industrial Environment of the UJI, and held at the Universitat Jaume I, brought together more than thirty attendees, including students, teachers and research staff.

Javier Sanfélix is a chemical engineer from the UJI and has a PhD in Engineering Sciences from the Free University of Brussels. He is currently working as a technical expert in the Circular Economy and Industrial Leadership unit of the Joint Research Centre (JRC) in Seville.

**About the BP Chair in Industrial Environment**  
The Chair arose out of the interest of BP Oil España and the Universitat Jaume I in providing mechanisms to facilitate research and dissemination in the field of industrial environment.

In its commitment to the environment, the Chair wants to contribute to welfare with actions aimed at disseminating knowledge and promoting environmental awareness.
