Svanen - the Nordic ecolabel

"For a little more than 20 years ago the Nordic Ecolabel became the official Ecolabel for the Nordic countries. The purpose was to provide consumers with a tool to help them choose among the best, from an environmental standpoint, products on the market.  Criteria is developed by using a life-cycle perspective. That means that we judge the environmental effects a product has from several aspects: energy and water usage, kinds of chemicals used, recycling and reuse of waste products." Source: www.svanen.se
