The EU Flower
While no human activity is completely 'environmentally friendly', there are always opportunities to reduce the impact that certain products have upon the environment.
The EU Eco-label scheme has therefore drawn up a set of environmental and performance criteria for judging products. Only if products meet all the criteria can they be awarded the EU Eco-label. These environmental criteria will take into account all aspects of a product's
life, from its production and use to its eventual disposal
(cradle-to-grave approach).
Nordic Swan Eco-label
The Swan is the official Nordic ecolabel, introduced
by the Nordic Council of Ministers.The Swan logo
demonstrates that a product is a good environmental
choice. The green symbol is available for around 60
product groups for which it is felt that ecolabelling is needed and will be beneficial.
