EU Ecolabel: The Official European Union Voluntary Label for Environmental Excellence

What is the EU Ecolabel?

The EU Ecolabel stands as a trusted sign. It marks goods and services that cut environmental harm at every stage. The label connects producers with a clearer eco‐record. Consumers, retailers, businesses, and procurers use it to choose green items. It links real eco benefits to each product and stops false green claims.
