natureplus Quality Label

Third-party European Type I ecolabel specifically for building and construction products, certifying that the product met natureplus's combined criteria on health (strict emissions testing and harmful-substance limits), environment (raw materials predominantly renewable or abundant mineral resources, with resource and production requirements), and fitness for use, per the applicable product-group award guideline.

• General 'verified sustainable' status — it proves compliance with natureplus's specific criteria set for that product group, at that guideline version.
• Applicability beyond building/construction products — the label's scope is that sector only.
• Specific quantified values (exact emission rates, renewable-content percentages, or carbon figures) unless stated in accompanying test documentation.
• Carbon neutrality or a low product carbon footprint — carbon is not the label's central test.

Expiry matters — check the certificate is current.

natureplus is notably strict on ingredient and emissions limits — often stricter than generic ecolabels — but only for the product groups it covers; always cite the product-group award guideline.

Its raw-material rules generally exclude predominantly petrochemical products, so absence of the label often reflects eligibility, not failure.

Recognition is strongest in German-speaking and wider European markets; check acceptance in other rating systems before relying on it.
