Nordic Swan Ecolabel office and hobby supplies have a reduced environmental and climate impact throughout their lifecycle – and strict requirements for recycled materials, chemicals and quality, which promote circular economy.
The requirements include:
- Environmental and health properties of substances used in chemical products such as paint, glue and ink. E.g. substances classified to cause cancer, damage genes or damage reproductive ability are not allowed, as well as heavy metals, perfumes, phthalates and bisphenols.
- Use of a high proportion of recycled or renewable materials.
- Limits for use of metal parts.
- Use of wood that is legally harvested and traceable – and at least 70% is sourced from certified forestry.
- The packaging has a high proportion of recycled or renewable materials.
- Quality tests.
Nordic Swan Ecolabel office and hobby supplies include writing instruments, hobby paints (e.g. finger paints), office and hobby glue, adhesive tape, erasers and rulers.
