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.

Abstract in Danish:
Der er gennemført en undersøgelse af sengelinnedsprodukter på det danske marked med det formål at fastslå, om de pågældende produkter lever op til kravene i EU's miljømærke Blomsten. Kun et enkelt produkt levede op til kravene i det kriteriedokument, som var gældende på købstidspunktet. Og dette produkt havde i forvejen Blomst-mærket. Fælles for de fleste af de øvrige produkter er, at det er muligt, at de lever op til flere af kravene; men der mangler generelt dokumentation for brugen af pesticider ved bomuldsdyrkningen, kemikalier og udledning af spildevand.
