Miljømerket

Miljømerket is a Nordic Ecolabel, a voluntary environmental certification scheme used in Denmark, Finland, Norway, and Sweden. Its primary purpose is to identify products and services that meet stringent environmental standards throughout their lifecycle. The label aims to help consumers make more sustainable choices by providing a clear and credible indication of a product's environmental performance.

The criteria for obtaining a Miljømerket vary depending on the product or service category but generally focus on minimizing environmental impact. This includes aspects such as resource consumption, energy efficiency, waste generation, chemical use, and emissions into air, water, and soil. The certification process involves independent assessment to ensure that products and services genuinely meet the set environmental requirements.

Miljømerket covers a wide range of product groups and services, from cleaning products and paper goods to hotels and energy companies. The label is recognized and trusted by consumers across the Nordic countries, contributing to increased demand for environmentally friendly options and encouraging businesses to adopt more sustainable practices. It serves as a tool for both consumer guidance and corporate environmental responsibility.
