European Ecolabel
The EU Ecolabel aims at promoting among European consumers products and services which have a reduced environmental impact. The approach considers the entire life cycle of the products and services covered. Although the European Ecolabel is not specific to IT products, a dedicated group of products is identified. The Ecolabel for IT products is based on criteria related to energy production consumption, the reduction of the number of hazardous substances used, the end of life management and the product design. The European Ecolabel is a third party certified Type I ISO 14024. Around 54,000 products and services are covered by the Ecolabel.
