Ecolabel
European and National Ecolabels
EU Ecolabels:
The EU Ecolabel covers a wide range of product groups, from major areas of manufacturing to tourist accommodation services.
Key experts, in consultation with main stakeholders, develop the criteria for each product group in order to decrease the main environmental impacts over the entire life cycle of the product. Because the life cycle of every product and service is different, the criteria are tailored to address the unique characteristics of each product type.
Every four years on average, the criteria are revised to reflect technical innovation such as evolution of materials, production processes or in emission reduction and changes in the market. Because of this, you and your customers can be sure that EU Ecolabel continues to stand for the highest environmental performance.
EU Ecolabels:
There are a number of other ecolabel schemes in Europe. The EU Ecolabel and national ecolabels coexist well. The EU Ecolabel and these labels are developing a policy of cooperation and coordination.
Blue Angel (Germany), NF (France) and Swan (Nordic countries) are part of National Ecolabels in Europe
