A flower whose petals are the twelve stars of the European flag, marking reduced environmental impact.
Also known as: Ecolabel, EU flower, Flower made of stars
The EU Ecolabel is a flower drawn from the European flag's twelve stars. It is a voluntary certification against published criteria covering a product's whole life cycle, not a legal requirement and not a claim that a product is harmless.
Certifies that a product meets published environmental criteria covering its life cycle, under a voluntary scheme administered across the European Union.
