The European Eco-label distinguishes products that meet high standards of both performance and environmental quality. Every product awarded the European Eco-label must pass rigorous environmental fitness trials, with results verified by an independent body. Other environmental labels cover specific environmental concerns, such as recyclability or energy efficiency, but the Flower of the European Eco-label stands for low environmental impact throughout a product’s life cycle — from manufacturing to disposal. Consumers can find it across the European Union, Norway, Liechtenstein and Iceland. Criteria exist for more than 23 types of products and services, with new categories continuously being adopted. The Flower adorns, among other items, environmentally friendly appliances, clothing, gardening products and tourist accommodations.
Green Seal is a non-profit organization dedicated to safeguarding the environment by promoting the manufacture, purchase and use of environmentally responsible products and services.
