Evaluate the article
(This article does not have the best lead section as it only contains one sentence which defines what sustainable product are and does not talk about the articles major sections or subjects that will be discussed. The content of the article is up to date and includes informative facts and descriptions about sustainable policy and the subgroups that follow that topic, product design, and goes into depth about the different types of labels and standards that need to be met in order to be classified as "sustainable". The content also includes references to different populations as it talks about the regions and counties and what contributions and changes they have made in this field. The tone of the article is very neutral and dose not try and persuade the reader. The reader is only provided with information on the topic in a neural way. This article has 39 references that are recent and come directly from the European Union websites and governmental policy sites. Some of the sources are articles that are quality secondary sources. In regards to the media and imaging, there are a few images present in the article that show what the standard labels look like on the products as well as an image depicting the EU support from the different countries. These images did help grasp the content better, however there is room to add more images on policy as well as the economics that will enhance the article. There are no conversations that are taking place between different wikipedia editors. The overall status of this article is that it has in depth content and covers a lot of subjects related to sustainable product which is very informative and better comprehend through the images. The article can be improved by having a better lead that will introduce the topics that are covered in the article as well as adding more images. The article appears to be well-developed with minor improvements necessary)
