Proquimia develops the first pet shampoo with European ecological label

Proquimia has achieved a new milestone in its commitment to sustainability: the Flopp Pet Care shampoo is the first product for companion animals to receive the official ecological label of the European Union, the EU Ecolabel.

What is the EU Ecolabel and why is it important?

The EU Ecolabel is an official certification from the European Union that ensures a product meets strict environmental criteria. In the case of Flopp Pet Care shampoo, this includes:

• Biodegradable ingredients
• Reduction of aquatic toxicity
• Absence of hazardous substances
• Sustainable packaging
• Not tested on animals

The certification of this product opens the door to a new category within the EU Ecolabel, previously nonexistent: animal care products. This reflects a growing awareness that sustainability must also encompass the products we use for our pets.

Commitment to sustainability

Proquimia has more than 60 certified products across eight different categories. According to Carles Bertrana, the company’s technical director:

“The EU Ecolabel certification provides exceptional value, reinforcing our commitment to developing innovative and sustainable products.”

Benefits for consumers and the environment  

With Flopp Pet Care, consumers can care for their pets with an effective and environmentally friendly product, contributing to a more sustainable lifestyle.

With this first certified shampoo, Proquimia sends a strong message to the animal care industry: sustainability is possible, necessary, and commercially viable. The EU Ecolabel is open to more products in this sector and encourages companies to follow this path toward a greener and more responsible future.
