“TECNALIA helps companies meet the rigorous ECOLABEL standards, enabling them to position themselves as leaders in sustainability and environmental responsibility”
Obtaining the European ECOLABEL for sustainable products
TECNALIA’s building materials laboratories help manufacturers and distributors with their work to get the European ECOLABEL, a European label that guarantees respect for the environment and sustainability in various types of products. This voluntary label identifies products that meet stringent environmental criteria throughout their life cycle, from production to disposal.
The European ECOLABEL, also known as “Organic Flower”, is governed by international standards such as ISO 10424 and is managed by an independent body that ensures the impartiality of the certification process.
The main benefits for the companies that obtain it include:
- Credibility and trust: As it is a European certification, this label supports companies’ commitment to the environment.
- Better positioning: Labelled products not only stand out for their environmental friendliness, but also reinforce brand image and market value.
- Sustainability and responsibility: Companies that choose the ECOLABEL prove their responsibility towards the environment and efficient resource management.
Trained to assess ECOLABEL compliance
TECNALIA’s laboratories are able to assess ECOLABEL compliance in several product groups. These include:
- Paints and varnishes: Assessing and verifying compliance with the criteria to be awarded the Ecolabel certification.
- Personal care products: Verifying that personal care products are safe, sustainable and environmentally friendly.
- Cleaning products: Ensuring that detergents and cleaning products are effective and environmentally friendly, minimising their environmental footprint.
- Floors and solid coverings: Analysing the durability and sustainability of the materials used in construction, guaranteeing a responsible life cycle.
- Furniture: Assessing the sustainability of the materials used to manufacture furniture, from the sourcing of raw materials to the end of their useful life.
TECNALIA is thus positioned as a key partner for companies wishing to contribute to a more sustainable future, making it easier to obtain this prestigious ecolabel for a wide range of products.
