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.

Certifies reduced impact relative to comparable products rather than the absence of impact — a distinction the scheme itself makes and that the flower does not convey on its own.

A flower head formed of twelve small five-pointed stars arranged in a ring around a stylised letter E, mounted on a short curved stem with a single leaf.
Both are life-cycle certification schemes operating in overlapping European markets.
