As the first parquet manufacturer in Austria: Scheucher receives EU Ecolabel for multilayer parquet

We are very pleased to inform you that Scheucher has acquired the right to label the multi-layer products WOODflor, MULTIflor and BILAflor with the EU Ecolabel in March 2023 after a successful testing according to test file no. VKI 1462-2023 in accordance with Regulation EG 66/2010.
 

Das EU Ecolabel ist das in allen Mitgliedstaaten der EU, aber auch Norwegen, Lichtenstein und Island anerkannte Umweltzeichen und eine Referenz für KonsumentInnen, die mit einem Kauf von umweltfreundlichen Produkten zu einer Verringerung der Umweltverschmutzung beitragen wollen. Es wird an Produkte vergeben, die bezogen auf die gesamte Lebensdauer geringere Umweltauswirkungen haben als der Marktdurchschnitt, ohne dass dabei die Sicherheit oder die Gebrauchstauglichkeit der Produkte verringert wird. The EU Ecolabel is intended to enable consumers to identify more environmentally friendly and healthier products..

Products certified with the European Ecolabel are characterized by environmental friendliness, durability as well as high quality.

The EU Ecolabel also has specific requirements for maintaining the value of the parquet flooring and is the first Type 1 level eco-label to include specific energy consumption in production in the assessment, which also positively highlights our exclusive, Austrian production site in Mettersdorf. These requirements regarding sustainability do not yet exist in many common environmental certifications.

We would like to thank Dr. Susanne Stark from the Association for Consumer Information for her active support and may quote her with the following words::

 "We are in charge of the Austrian and European Ecolabel/EU Ecolabel on behalf of the Ministry of Climate Protection and very pleased that parquet floors from Scheucher were the first in Austria to be awarded the EU Ecolabel"
