What is the EU Ecolabel?
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?
The EU Ecolabel helps consumers, retailers and business make truly sustainable choices.
Launched in 1992, the EU Ecolabel logo has become a byword for quality while meeting the highest environmental standards. Products (goods and services) displaying the iconic "EU flower" symbol meet all the criteria and have earned the right to join the growing EU Ecolabel Community!
Why choose the EU Ecolabel?
- It showcases true ‘green’ products with a demonstrated reduced impact on the environment, preventing greenwashing
- It empowers consumers and procurers in making sustainable choices
- It boosts responsible, competitive and innovative businesses
- It guarantees compliance with new and forthcoming legislation on ecodesign, sustainability labelling and green claims
- It allows market actors to contribute to a circular, climate neutral and clean economy
Learn more about why it matters to businesses, consumers, retailers and procurers.
