  • Aim/Focus
  • Standard organisation
  • Good to know
The natureplus label distinguishes building materials, building products and furnishings. Since some products are made of wood, the label also sets requirements for the extraction and origin of wood.
The international natureplus association consists of 100 members, among others from industry, trade, science and environmental associations. The aim of the association is sustainable development in the building sector.
The natureplus label is only awarded to building and home products that consist of 85% renewable and/or mineral raw materials.
