What is the European Eco-label?

It is a voluntary scheme for industry to encourage the production of environment-friendly products. It can be awarded for various product groups. Manufacturers, importers or first-time marketing companies who feel that their product qualifies as environment-friendly can apply with the national authorities of the respective country for an Eco-label.

The national authorities define the product according to the groups specified by the Commission. Before taking a decision, they consult industry, trade, consumer and environmental organisations. In Malta, the Malta Standards Authority Act provides a legal framework for the recognition of the Eco-label.
