ÖkoControl

ÖkoControl is a certification label awarded to furniture, bedding, and mattresses made from natural and sustainably sourced materials. Products must pass rigorous testing carried out by independent, accredited laboratories to verify that they meet strict standards for low chemical emissions and environmental compatibility. The label is primarily relevant to manufacturers and retailers operating in Germany and Austria.

Behind the label is a network of ecologically oriented furniture retailers and manufacturers working to raise awareness of genuinely sustainable home furnishings. ÖkoControl sets out to give consumers a reliable way to identify products that meet defined ecological standards, distinguishing them from goods that make unverified green claims.

For manufacturers, obtaining the ÖkoControl label signals a verified commitment to ecological production practices and positions products for a market segment that prioritizes health-conscious and environmentally responsible purchasing decisions.
