Give your opinion on the future of the EU Ecolabel

The EU Ecolabel is a voluntary ecolabel which covers a range of products and services, from cleaning products, to electronics, furniture and more. It can be useful tool in procurement, helping procurers easily set criteria and verify environmentally friendly products, and indeed is closely linked to the voluntary EU GPP Criteria, developed to facilitate the inclusion of green requirements in public tender documents.

The European Commission is currently requesting input to the future of the EU Ecolabel via an online consultation. It is aiming to identify opportunities to increase the EU Ecolabel uptake, focusing on the most promising product and service groups.

Questionnaires target consumers, EU Ecolabel license holders, retailers, industry representatives and others, and will be online until the 3rd March 2019.

Questionnaires are available in English, French, German, Italian, Spanish and Polish and can be accessed here.
