Abstract

This Science for Policy Report aims to provide a technical basis for the revision process of the EU Ecolabel criteria for Absorbent Hygiene Products. The set of criteria currently in force was adopted in 2014 (Commission Decision 2014/763/EU). The revised EU Ecolabel criteria are set to cover a wider scope, as for the first time they include a set of criteria targeting reusable menstrual cups. The product group has been enlarged thus to cover ‘absorbent hygiene products’ and ‘reusable menstrual cups'. To support the revision process, a first version of this report was produced as a working document, and was updated and complemented as the revision developed. That document provided the rationale for the revised criteria proposal and summarised the research and the outcome of three stakeholder consultations, which were crucial to develop revised criteria that are able to pinpoint the best environmental products available on the market while taking into account the state of the art of the sector. After a revision process lasting 30 months, this is the final version of the report which supports the final criteria for absorbent hygiene products and reusable menstrual cups.
