The EU Ecolabel is a voluntary certification programme to promote environmentally friendly products and services on the European market. The EU Ecolabel covers a wide range of product and service groups from cleaning products to tourist accommodation. Some of the criteria include ingredient hazard, biodegradation, packaging, sustainable sourcing and product efficacy. Products and services that are awarded the Ecolabel designation show the distinctive flower logo, providing a standard that consumers can trust.

wca can prepare Ecolabel product applications and advise on formulation development to meet the Ecolabel criteria. We are expert at compiling supporting documents based on publicly available information to meet criteria requirements without the need for further testing. We can support you throughout the Ecolabel application process and liaise with Competent Authorities during the assessment process to solve any queries.

Our areas of expertise cover:

• Personal care and animal care products
• Cleaning products
• Lubricants

We are also able to provide advice on restricted substance criteria for other product groups, such as DIY products, gardening products, and clothing and textiles. Please contact us for further information on our Ecolabel capabilities.
