Interflon’s Bio Grease MP2 receives EU Ecolabel Certification

Interflon is proud to announce that our Bio Grease MP2 has been awarded the EU Ecolabel. This certification is a testament to our commitment to environmental stewardship and our dedication to producing lubricants that minimize their impact on the planet. 

Bio Grease MP2 

Bio Grease MP2 is a biodegradable multipurpose grease specifically designed for applications where uncontrolled lubricant loss poses a risk of contaminating soil, groundwater, or surface water systems. It offers outstanding resistance to water and contaminants, making it ideal for outdoor machinery, off-shore operations, agriculture and the steel industry. The grease meets the stringent environmental standards set by the EU Ecolabel, a certification awarded only to products that significantly reduce harmful impacts on biodiversity and limit the use of hazardous substances.

Understanding the EU Ecolabel 

The EU Ecolabel is a globally recognized, voluntary certification that promotes products and services demonstrating environmental excellence. It is the only EU-wide ISO 14024 Type 1 ecolabelling scheme. Its criteria are based on scientific evidence and standardized processes, ensuring transparency and consistency in promoting eco-friendly products. 

The importance of the EU Ecolabel 

The EU Ecolabel aims to mitigate environmental impacts across air, water, soil, and biodiversity. Products seeking this certification must:

  • Demonstrate a limited impact on aquatic ecosystems.
  • Reduce hazardous chemical content.
  • Maintain high performance while promoting resource efficiency.

Additionally, the EU Ecolabel encourages the use of recycled materials, particularly in packaging, to support the shift toward a circular economy. 

PCR Packaging: Leading the way 

Interflon was the first lubricant supplier to introduce post-consumer recycled (PCR) packaging for grease cartridges. This initiative played a critical role in securing the EU Ecolabel for Bio Grease MP2, which requires that plastic packaging contains at least 25% recycled content. 

Commitment to sustainability 

The EU Ecolabel certification is more than just a recognition for Interflon; it is a reflection of our dedication to sustainability and our commitment to producing high-quality, environmentally responsible lubricants. We will continue to innovate and develop products that not only meet the needs of our customers but also contribute positively to the environment.
