Nordic Ecolabelling are now revising the criteria for Laundry detergents for professional use. You are welcome to comment on the proposal before January 31th.

The most important changes compared to generation 3

  • Tightened requirements for CDV (critical dilution volume), content of non-aerobic and anaerobically degradable substances, as well as environmentally classified substances. We encourage manufacturers to check their products against these requirements (requirements O10-O12) using the calculation sheet during the consultation period.
  • Phosphates are prohibited from products.
  • New requirements for packaging (requirement O14-O18).
