EU EcoLabel
The European Union’s EcoLabel program, which started its activities in 1992 and is recognized throughout Europe and the world, certifies products that are guaranteed, independently verified and have a low environmental impact. This globally accepted program is an internationally accepted standard that provides consumers with accurate, non-misleading and science-based information about the environmental impact of products.
To receive the EU EcoLabel, goods and services must meet high environmental standards throughout their entire lifecycle – from pre-production to production and distribution and disposal. In this way, consumers who want to help reduce pollution by purchasing more environmentally friendly products with less environmental impact can choose products with the EU EcoLabel label.
What Does the EU EcoLabel Guarantee?
Products included in the EcoLabel program:
- They have low environmental impact especially on climate change
- They are subject to chemical restrictions for hazardous substances
- They are healthy and safe
- They are produced within the scope of ethical and responsible production
- They are guaranteed to have high efficiency and quality
EU EcoLabel Advantages
It contributes to responsible consumption by declaring the environmental impact of products for consumers, while supporting the circular economy by leading manufacturers to create less waste and carbon dioxide during production. It encourages businesses to develop durable, easy-to-repair and recyclable products. It also provides guidance on eco-friendly best practices during product development and provides a tool for companies to validate and communicate sustainability claims for their products. Although the EU EcoLabel is a voluntary program, many companies globally have been awarded this label for more than 89,000 products and services as of 2022.
