LEIPA is attracting new customer groups at an international level additionally to the Blue Angel, which is recognised as one of the foremost seals of quality in (predominantly) the German-speaking economic area and is frequently demanded by clients, and now the EU Ecolabel, the leading European environmental certificate. As part of the testing process prior to being awarded the EU Ecolabel, the criteria include not only environmental factors and issues relating to raw materials, but also health factors and that of environmentally friendly waste disposal. This means that the entire product life cycle is taken into consideration.
The examination and award procedures are accordingly comprehensive and in-depth, in that they actively incorporate a company’s emission control and waste management too. This is done so that, for example, a qualified assessment can be given of the chemicals used and of the emissions with respect to water, air, noise and the waste stream.
