Ecoo materials are completely safe for humans and the environment.
They have been used successfully for decades by numerous satisfied users at home and abroad and are 100% safe. In nature, herbs, vegetables and other plants grow abundantly against the Ecolat or Ecoplanc borders and we see, for example, that the composting process is not disturbed in an Ecoo compost bin.
Ecoo's recycled plastic complies with the strict European Toys Directive and has been tested for safety by several official research institutes.
The specific information on this can be found in the ‘Material properties’ sheet (Point 12. Toys Directive). The various official research reports can be consulted in our offices.
The Ecoo materials are made from a mix of your 100% household residual plastics. These include the packaging foils, yoghurt pots, butter dishes, charcuterie packaging, spice containers, etc., which are sorted by citizens today in the PMD bag. All these plastics meet the strictest requirements. Moreover, any harmful substances are removed from the process due to intensive washing during processing of the mixed plastics.
The ‘Sorting rules for mixed plastics’ give an overview of the residual plastics that Ecoo accepts. This follows the example of collection via the pink bag in Flanders (Belgium).
