A world that’s dealing with unprecedented levels of pollution and toxins deserves our attention and care, and probably the simplest thing you can do is change the way you shop for home cleaning products. The chances are high that you have heard "ECOCERT Certified" many times in your shopping journey. What does that really mean? This comprehensive guide takes you through the essentials for you to do better for your home and the planet!
What exactly is ECOCERT Certification?
ECOCERT is a renowned organization that sets the standards for natural and organic products across diverse categories, including beauty and home care. Launched in 1991, ECOCERT is based in France and now has a strong presence in over 80 countries. Ingredients that have been certified by ECOCERT have gone through an extensive and rigorous testing criteria to check for both health and overall environmental impacts.
As a consumer, you don’t have go into the deeper testing details, but ECOCERT certification tells you that the labelled product is better for the planet. Think of this as a stamp of authenticity that your cleaning product is safe and free of toxins, and more importantly, it has been manufactured in a responsible manner. ECOCERT currently remains a benchmark for cleaning and many products in the home care category.
Why should you care for ECOCERT-certified Ingredients?
There are things you need to stock every month – All-purpose cleaners, floor cleaners, liquid detergents, fabric conditioners, and dishwashing essentials. Each of these products are used every day, and it is easy to imagine the impact of the ingredients on your everyday life and the environment. ECOCERT is like a promise that you can trust, and if you are still wondering what that means, here’s a quick list.
- Keeping nature in mind: With ECOCERT certification, you can be sure that the home care manufacturer has taken steps to ensure their products don’t harm the nature - air, soil, and water. ECOCERT-certified ingredients break down naturally, protecting plants and animals in the region.
- Healthy living: A rising number of consumers now feel concerned about the use of chemicals in various products, including home care. If you are one, you should know that ECOCERT-certified ingredients are natural and safe, which means the products won’t trigger allergies or affect the skin.
- Minimizing waste: Products that come with ECOCERT-labelled ingredients also often come with recyclable packaging. With plastic being one of the top pollutants globally, you can choose home care products that don’t add to landfills or pollute the ocean.
- A Seal of Trust: When a brand has spent resources, time, and made an effort to ensure their ingredients meet ECOCERT standards, you know they care. That’s like having the confidence that you are buying something that is not just ideal for your family but also the environment.
- Effective cleaning: It’s rather a common myth that only strong chemicals can clean a home. The truth is plant-based counterparts are just as good or often better. When a dishwashing gel, or a floor cleaner has ECOCERT-certified ingredients, you know these will meet standards of efficacy and performance.
