  1. Ecolabel - Timeline Update – February 2013

  2. Quod est? The EU Ecolabel helps you identify products and services that have a reduced environmental impact throughout their life cycle, from the extraction of raw material through to production, use and disposal. Recognised throughout Europe, EU Ecolabel is a voluntary label promoting environmental excellence which can be trusted.

  3. History The EU Ecolabel was launched in 1992 when the European Community decided to develop a Europe-wide voluntary environmental scheme that consumers could trust. Since then, the number of products and services awarded the EU Ecolabel has increased every year. By the end of 2011, more than 1,300 licences had been awarded, and today, the EU Ecolabel can be found on more than 17,000 products. A licence gives a company the right to use the EU Ecolabel logo for a specific product group.
