What is the Nordic Eco Label?

The official ecolabel of the Nordics

Nordic Swan Ecolabel logo: white swan silhouette on green striped circle with black text around the border

Ecolabelling works to reduce the environmental impact from production and consumption of goods. The Nordic Eco Label marks products and services that are tested and qualified against the strict criteria of the Nordic Eco Labelling and is a governmental quality seal for environmentally friendly products and services.

Why Eco Labelling?

The criteria document includes strict requirements on:

Line drawing of an upright battery with plus symbol at the top and minus symbol near the bottom, in blue outline

       Product performance

  • Strict requirements for capacity
    and durability to ensure a long lifetime
  • Recognized quality and safety standards
  • Low content of mercury, cadmium and lead

  • Dismantling for all individual parts for waste sorting (e.g. cardboard, paper, plastic...)

       CSR

This makes the Nordic Eco Label not only a recognized mark for eco-friendliness but also for premium quality!
