What is the Nordic Swan Eco Label?
The Nordic Swan is the official eco-labelling system of the Nordic countries. It's aim is to provide information to consumers to enable them to select products that are the least harmful to the environment. It focuses on product areas where eco-labelling is seen to be both a necessity and a benefit. |

The criteria are based on evaluation of the environmental impacts during the actual products' life cycle, and set requirements towards a number of factors considered environmentally harmful. Criteria are updated every three years to take account of new knowledge and production methods.

What is the purpose of the Nordic Ecolabel?
Unfortunately, we do not live in a sustainable society. We consume too many things, we do not recycle, and we do not use enough renewable energy. The vision of the Nordic Swan Ecolabel is a sustainable society where future generations will have the same opportunities as we have today. To achieve this goal, our mission is to contribute to a sustainable consumerism. The Nordic Ecolabel, commonly known in the Nordic countries as "the Swan" because of its symbol, is a practical tool to help companies make products that are more sustainable. Therefore it is important that more people buy Nordic Ecolabelled products and companies sell more Nordic Ecolabelled products and services.
