EU Ecolabel: What It Is and Why It Matters for Sustainable Cleaning

The Gold Standard for Sustainable Cleaning. Why EU Ecolabel Matters and How InnuScience Has Been Leading the Way Since 2008.

In a world where greenwashing is all too common, credible certifications are essential to identifying truly sustainable products. The EU Ecolabel stands as one of the most trusted ecolabels in Europe, ensuring that products meet strict environmental and performance criteria throughout their life cycle.

At InnuScience, we’ve been committed to real sustainability for decades, with our European formulations EU Ecolabel-certified since 2008. We don’t just claim to be eco-friendly—we prove it through third-party certifications that set the highest standards for performance and environmental responsibility.

For businesses looking to reduce their environmental footprint without compromising on cleaning power, choosing EU Ecolabel-certified products is a smart move. But what does this certification actually mean, and why should it matter to you?

What Is the EU Ecolabel?

The EU Ecolabel is an official environmental certification recognized across all EU member states. Launched in 1992 by the European Commission, it sets high sustainability and performance standards for a wide range of products, including cleaning solutions, textiles, electronics, and more.

Unlike marketing claims that lack verification, the EU Ecolabel is awarded only after a rigorous third-party assessment, ensuring that certified products meet strict environmental requirements.

What Are the Criteria for EU Ecolabel Certification?

A product with the EU Ecolabel must meet comprehensive environmental and performance criteria that assess its impact throughout its entire life cycle. This includes:

  • Raw Material Selection – Ingredients must be biodegradable, sourced responsibly, and free from harmful substances.
  • Manufacturing Process – Products must be made using energy-efficient and low-emission production methods.
  • Product Performance – Certified products must match or exceed the cleaning performance of conventional alternatives.
  • Health & Safety – Restrictions on toxic chemicals ensure the product is safe for users and indoor environments.
  • Packaging & Waste Reduction – Eco-conscious packaging and minimal plastic use are key certification factors.

These criteria help businesses and consumers make informed choices, selecting products that align with sustainability goals without sacrificing efficiency.
