What is EcoLabel Certification?
Created in 1992, the European EcoLabel is the only official European ecological label available in all the member countries of the European Union. This Europe-wide ecological certification is based on the principle of a “global approach that takes into consideration the product life cycle from the extraction of the raw materials, the production, the distribution, and the utilisation until its recycling or its disposal after use.” Product quality and product use are equally important. The EcoLabel is reserved for products that are considered “kindest to the environment.” Its criteria guarantee the suitability of the products and a reduction of their environmental impacts throughout their life cycle. The EcoLabel takes both the product and its packaging into consideration.
