Blue angel

Since 1978, this environmental seal has been used to mark products that are particularly environmentally friendly within their product category. Products marked with a "blue angel" meet high ecological standards. Among other non-food products sold at REWE supermarkets and hypermarkets, many household and hygiene paper products made of recycled papers bear this seal. The range of products with the "blue angel" sold at DIY and gardening centres include wallpaper, paints and lacquers as well as low-noise gardening equipment and low-emission products made of wood.
