Towards a circular economy

The EU Ecolabel promotes Europe’s transition to a circular economy, where materials stay in a loop, so new products begin when old ones end. This drives manufacturers to produce goods that:

  • Promote green innovation and sustainable industries
  • Generate less waste and CO 2 when they are made and used
  • Use energy, water and raw materials more wisely
  • Last longer and are easier to repair
  • Are easier to recycle.
