Natureplus Seal in Europe

The Swiss World Wildlife Fund (WWF) and other European organizations have launched the

Natureplus label for building materials. Products displaying the Natureplus seal are guaranteed to be “manufactured in an environmentally friendly manner, harmless to health, and of a high functional standard,” according to WWF. The seal, representing products from Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Italy, the Netherlands, Belgium, and Luxembourg, incorporates numerous existing labels, thus avoids consumer confusion. Insulation, timber materials, and roof tiles already display the seal; WWF plans to include linoleum, wood flooring, paint, lacquer, mortar, and putty soon. WWF International is online at
