30 Years of EU Ecolabel!

March 23, 2022

On 23 March 2022, the EU Ecolabel officially turned 30 years old! Now with over 83,000 goods and services awarded with the label across 24 product groups, the EU Ecolabel is widely recognized across Europe.

Throughout the past three decades, their reach may have grown but the EU Ecolabel still holds the same values. They are striving towards a greener future and building a more resilient Europe by contributing to EU environmental objectives such as the circular economy, climate neutrality and zero pollution.

Many activities are planned to commemorate the achievements made in 30 years, where this label has continuously inspired consumers, businesses, and retailers to lead a more sustainable lifestyle. In May 2022, the ‘EU Ecolabel Showroom’ will be brought back to life, but this time on wheels! From the launch at EU Green Week in Brussels, the ‘EU Ecolabel Showroom on Wheels’ will showcase EU Ecolabel products and services across EU countries throughout the summer and autumn. Don’t miss out on the Showroom passing in your country! The Showroom will close its tour back to Brussels for the World Ecolabel Day on the 13 October 2022.

Additionally, there will be activities taking place across the EU on local levels to highlight achievements of the EU Ecolabel and reinforce the bond between EU consumers, businesses, and retailers. Make sure to keep a look out!
