The EU Ecolabel, a guarantee of environmental excellence
The EU Ecolabel is the official voluntary environmental label of the European Union. It was established in 1992 and is already recognised in Europe and around the world. The EU Ecolabel certifies products with a low environmental impact and is independently verified.
Shopping today can be a challenge. There are so many products it’s almost impossible to distinguish between them. To stand out, many brands now promote themselves as green or stress their environmental credentials. But can we always trust these claims? To be certified for the Ecolabel, goods and services must meet high environmental standards throughout their entire life cycle. This means from the extraction of raw materials, through production and distribution to disposal. The label also encourages companies to design innovative products that are durable, easy to repair and recyclable.
What are the benefits of obtaining the Ecolabel?
- Offers customers a real and reliable ecological alternative to conventional products
- Demonstrates a brand commitment to the environment and the ecological transition
- Also, we can label our products or services with the official EU Ecolabel
- On the other hand, the verification process helps to highlight ways in which we can optimise products and production processes, achieving financial savings.
- Companies that certify their products enjoy participation in other sustainability initiatives of the European Commission
- Finally, this contributes to the project developed by the Green Deal towards climate neutrality. For example, achieving climate neutrality by 2050, switching to a circular economy and achieving the ambition of Zero pollution for a toxic free environment.
