We are excited to announce that several of Meditrade’s paper products have been awarded the prestigious EU Ecolabel certification, underscoring our continued commitment to sustainability and environmental responsibility. This certification reflects our dedication to minimising the environmental impact of our products across their entire life cycle.
The following Meditrade products have now earned the esteemed EU Ecolabel certification:
The EU Ecolabel is the European Union’s official voluntary label for environmental excellence. It recognises products that have a reduced environmental impact throughout multiple stages of their life cycle – from the sourcing of raw materials and production processes, to their distribution and disposal. Launched in 1992, the EU Ecolabel logo, represented by the iconic “EU flower” symbol, has become synonymous with quality and sustainability, offering consumers clear, reliable information for making eco-conscious purchasing decisions.
By obtaining the EU Ecolabel, Meditrade’s products have passed rigorous criteria that guarantee:
The EU Ecolabel is an ISO 14024 Type 1 ecolabel, which ensures that it is a reliable, multi-criteria certification verified by third parties. The certification criteria are developed using a life cycle approach, ensuring a transparent process that involves multiple stakeholders. This rigorous process means that EU Ecolabel products like those from Meditrade are among the most environmentally friendly on the market
By adopting the EU Ecolabel, Meditrade is contributing to a cleaner, more sustainable future. The certification highlights the following key benefits:
True Sustainability: Our certified products are genuinely ‘green’, helping customers make environmentally responsible choices.
Environmental Benefits: These products reduce environmental harm, encouraging a circular economy, reduced waste, and a cleaner planet.
Supporting Climate Goals: By using EU Ecolabel products, consumers and businesses contribute to broader objectives of a climate-neutral, clean, and toxic-free environment.
Durability and Repairability: Certified products are built to last and are easier to recycle or repair, promoting longevity.
Minimised Harmful Chemicals: The certification limits the use of hazardous chemicals and reduces harmful emissions into the air and water.
Lower Energy Consumption: The life cycle approach also ensures lower energy usage and reduced CO2 emissions.
At Meditrade, we are proud to communicate transparently about the authenticity of our sustainability commitments. Earning the EU Ecolabel demonstrates that we are taking meaningful steps towards a greener future, and we invite you to join us on this journey.
