EU Ecolabel is a voluntary ecological mark based on a selective criteria system, defined on a scientific basis.
EU Ecolabel considers the environmental impacts of products or services along the entire life cycle and it is certified by an independent authority.
EU Ecolabel has the voluntary Type I label characteristics (as defined by UNI ISO 14024 standard):
- it is based on criteria defined on a scientific basis in relation to the entire life cycle of the products (starting from the extraction of raw materials, to the production, packaging and transport, use and recovery and disposal phases). The criteria concern various environmental aspects including the use of energy, water, chemicals and waste production (multi-criteria system), but also the functionality of the product and the quality of its performance
