Väljaande metaandmed
The EU Ecolabel is the official European Union label for environmental excellence. The EU Ecolabel is awarded to sustainably designed products, thereby encouraging innovation, and contributing to the EU’s goal of climate neutrality by 2050 and to the circular economy. Industry can use the EU Ecolabel to offer consumers an eco-friendly alternative to conventional products and help them lower their daily environmental impact. With some specific exceptions, the hard covering product group generally covers: floor tiles, wall tiles, roof tiles, blocks, slabs, panels, pavers, kerbs, tabletops, vanity tops and kitchen worktops made of natural stone, agglomerated stone, ceramic, precast concrete or compressed earth; and intermediate products, specifically blocks and slabs of dimension stone from natural stone quarries, and hydraulic cement, hydraulic lime and alternative cement binders. Ambitious criteria have been set focusing on the main environmental impacts generated over the lifecycle of these products. This ensures that EU Ecolabel hard covering products are among the best on the market in terms of environmental performance. Specifically, the EU Ecolabel criteria: reduce land use impacts caused by quarrying of raw materials; restrict the use of hazardous substances; require production processes to be energy efficient; encourage the use of renewable energy; require production processes to be material efficient, including the reuse/recycling of process waste; and limit emissions of pollutants that contribute to global warming, acidification, and eutrophication, and which are detrimental to human health.
