The latest figures on EU Ecolabel-certified products and licences, released today, show the EU Ecolabel gaining momentum and appearing on more and more environmentally friendly products.
109,096 certified goods and services are now covered by 3,384 licences across Europe – the largest collection of eco-friendly choices ever brought together under the EU Ecolabel. Data shows that, since March 2025, certified products have increased by 7% (+6,723), while licences have grown by 4% (+136).
The EU Ecolabel is visible in many products, with paints & varnishes in the lead with 38,096 certified products, followed by tissue paper & tissue products (20,253), textiles (11,067) and hard surface cleaning products (8,284). Tourist accommodations remain the largest product group in terms of licences, representing 26% of all licences, with 901 certified establishments.
The EU Ecolabel is helping companies compete more effectively, win procurement opportunities and build lasting trust with consumers. As an example, representing 57% of all licence holders, small and medium-sized enterprises are central to the EU Ecolabel’s success. The EU Ecolabel is therefore an opportunity for businesses to invest in the green transition with both growth and environmental benefits. It also helps consumers make informed choices and opt for environmentally friendly products, boosting the market for sustainable products in a circular economy.
Created in 1992, the EU Ecolabel is the only pan-European voluntary scheme promoting products (goods and services) that clearly demonstrate environmental excellence, based on established processes and scientific evidence. To receive the EU Ecolabel, a product must show excellent environmental characteristics in various aspects along its full lifecycle, from extraction of raw materials and production to use and end-of-life. Such aspects include sustainable ingredients, low production emissions, durability, easy repairability, and high performance in the intended use.
