Environmental Impact from Bed Linen in the Production Chain

Abstract
A survey of bed linen products on the Danish market has been carried out with the aim of investigating whether the products comply with the criteria of the EU eco-label (the Flower). Only 1 of 19 products was in compliance with the criteria, and this particular product already was equipped with the Flower label. Many of the other products might be in compliance with the criteria but in general there is a lack of documentation regarding the consumption of pesticides during cotton growing, chemicals used and waste water discharge.

The Danish Environmental Protection Agency will, when opportunity offers, publish reports and contributions relating to environmental research and development projects financed via the Danish EPA.

The reports are, however, published because the Danish EPA finds that the studies represent a valuable contribution to the debate on environmental policy in Denmark.
