The Nordic Swan Ecolabel's Requirements for Renewable Raw Materials
In Swan-labeled candles, at least 90% of the content must consist of renewable raw materials, and the stearin must not come from palm or soy oil. Although palm oil is technically a renewable resource, its extraction is often linked to deforestation, which can have serious consequences for the climate, environment, and local communities.
The Nordic Swan Ecolabel, the official environmental label of the Nordic countries, sets requirements based on a holistic perspective. The aim is to prevent environmental issues from being shifted from one area to another.
For each product group, a thorough assessment is made to determine which renewable raw material is the most sustainable option. Source.
