FAQ
Are eco-labelled products more expensive than non-eco-labelled products?
No, even based solely on the purchase price, eco-labelled products are not necessarily more expensive. However, the cost of using the product should also be taken into account. Eco-labelled products often make it possible to cut operating costs such as expenditure on energy and waste: even if the initial purchase outlay is higher, eco-labelled products may prove far less expensive to use. Any extra cost can often be explained by the quality of eco-labelled products and their innovative design. When produced in large quantities (paints, bin bags, paper, etc.), eco-labelled products are priced on a par with, or even lower than, competing non-eco-labelled products.
