Besides system certifications, product certifications are becoming more and more important all over Europe. These are known as  the environmental labels, among which the European Ecolabel and the Environmental Product Declaration (EPD).

The European ecolabel, based on the EC Regulation no. 1980/2000, is a mark designed to promote  products and services  that have a lower environmental impact during their entire life cycle, thus contributing to an efficient use of resources and to a high level of environment protection. It is a voluntary and selective tool of environmental policy,  established in the 5th action programme of the European Union, based on the assessment of the ecological and performance qualities of the products’ entire life cycle. Some of the advantages of a company adopting the ecolabel are:

• A high visibility on the market by selling products recognised and advertised on the whole European territory;
• The possibility to stand out from the competitors with products environmentally sustainable;
• Ability to attract those consumers who  take care  of  environmental issues.

The EPD, based on the Technical Report ISO/TR 14025, is a document that enables the communication of targets and  comparable and credible information on the environmental performance of products and services.

• Objectivity is guaranteed by the use of life cycle assessment (LCA) as methodology to identify and quantify the environmental impact;
• Comparability is guaranteed by the development of the Product Specific Requirements (PSR) related to every single line of products;
• Credibility is the consequence of the check and validation made  by an independent accredited body which guarantees the truthfulness of the information in the LCA study and in the declaration.
