Abstract: On 13 July 2022, the EU Ecolabel criteria for ‘growing media and soil improvers’ were established in Commission Decision 2022/1244, within the scheme of the EU Ecolabel Regulation (Regulation (EC) No 66/2010). This User Manual (UM) supports the interpretation of the EU Ecolabel criteria for ‘growing media and soil improvers’, and it explains all requirements. The UM aims to optimise the time and ease the procedures of all the actors involved in the application stage. The manual is composed of this document and separate files, which include the application form, data submission and declarations. There are three spreadsheets to be filled out, dedicated to the three product categories of this product group: mineral growing media, growing media other than mineral growing media, and soil improvers.
