What is the
Ecolabel?
|
|
The European Ecolabel distinguishes products that meet high standards of both performance and environmental quality. Every product awarded the European Ecolabel 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 Ecolabel stands for low environmental impacts throughout a
products life cycle - from manufacturing to disposal. Consumers can find it across the European Union, Norway, Liechtenstein and Iceland.

Environmental advantages:
|
 |
Detergents
must break down into harmless substances once they enter the
environment. |
|
The products
must come in a minimal amount of packaging, thus taking up
less space in the landfill. |
|
Detergents
must come with guidelines for safe handling and use. |
|
Recommendations
on the label instruct the consumer about how to use the
correct amount of detergent for the job in hand. |
|
All-purpose
cleaners must have instructions for diluting the detergent
effectively to clean practically any
washable surface. |
|
|
By following the European Eco-label flower, you get products that tread gently on the environment throughout their life cycle, from the creation of the chemicals themselves, to their packaging, to
their disposal.

|
|
Simply said, Eco-labelled cleaning products are better by nature.
